RCBank Launches Campaign to Promote Digital Payment Systems


Rokel Commercial Bank, alias RCBank has initiated a campaign to promote its digital payment products and support the National Payment Switch launched by the Bank of Sierra Leone.

The campaign features comedian and brand ambassador Kindo Armani, who is engaging the Western Area community to raise awareness about the bank’s offerings.

The campaign encourages customers to sign up for the National Switch and utilize RCBank’s instant digital payment solutions, including Rokel Sim Korpor, Rokel ekorpor, Rokel prepaid cards, and Visa debit cards. This initiative is part of RCBank’s strategy to establish itself as a leading financial services provider in Sierra Leone and the surrounding region.

Kindo Armani, along with RCBank’s VISA activation team, has been educating the public about the benefits of these digital products. “With RCBank pre-paid card, you don’t need to have a bank account.

The card can be used anywhere in the world where cards are accepted. We are making payments seamless in Sierra Leone,” he stated. He highlighted that customers can shop online, pay bills, and make hotel and airline bookings using a VISA card.

To obtain a VISA card, customers need to present a valid ID and make an initial deposit of NLE 200, without requiring a bank account. Cardholders can access cash through any Automated Teller Machine (ATM) worldwide.

RCBank’s digital cards are part of its commitment to providing modern and efficient banking services while promoting financial inclusion for individuals previously excluded from the banking system.

The cards are a key feature of RCBank’s E-banking package, known as “E-baskit,” which allows customers to conduct various banking activities online and via mobile, reducing the need for physical branch visits.

Through this campaign, RCBank aims to enhance financial inclusion and support the National Payment Switch, contributing to the transformation of the banking landscape in Sierra Leone.

RCBank Nominated to Promote Usage And Adoption of New Innovative Pan African Payment Systems


A Rokel Commercial Bank delegation including the Board of Directors Chairman, Buffy Bailor, Managing Director Dr Walton Gilpin and top IT staff are in Cape Town, South Africa to attend a high-level meeting on the adoption and use of the innovative Pan African Payment System (PAPPS) by banks around the continent.

Pioneered by the Afreximbank, the PAPPS will create a flawless and highly effective international payment system that will invariably support the African Continental Free Trade Area (AcFTA) established in 2018 and signed by 43 African countries including Sierra Leone.

The new cross-border payment also seeks to operationalize a 2019 resolution by African heads of state that the PAPPS should become the main infrastructure for payments and settlements within the African financial markets.

Therefore, working with local banks like the RCbank to popularize and promote the adoption and utilization of the payment system tool has been deemed to be a critical component of its growth and success. A high point of the event was when heads from some of the partnering banks, including the Rokel Commercial Bank shared their experiences on the use of the PAPPS.

At the end of a highly interactive event, RCBank was among the financial institutions nominated as member of the Working Group of the PAPPS network/club to promote the adoption and usage of the payment platform.
