Absa Bank Mauritius is a subsidiary of Absa Group Limited, a major financial services conglomerate headquartered in South Africa.

The bank’s origins date back to 1919 when the National Bank of South Africa established a branch in Mauritius.

Following a series of mergers, it became part of Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) in 1925.

In 2013, the bank was locally incorporated as Barclays Bank Mauritius Limited.

Subsequent to Barclays Plc’s decision to reduce its shareholding in Barclays Africa Group, the bank rebranded to Absa Bank (Mauritius) Limited on 10 February 2020.
