Access Bank in 2026
Formerly Grobank, and before that the South African Bank of Athens (BATH SWIFT prefix). Per the bank's own history: the Access Bank Group took a controlling stake in Grobank in 2020 and rebranded it Access Bank South Africa in 2021 (so the rename is earlier than the 2023 or 2024 date in the request). Customers should use Access Bank South Africa details: SWIFT BATHZAJJ, customer care 0861 102 205, USSD *120*20041#. It is still trading and still on the SARB list of foreign controlled banks. No 2023 to 2026 merger, licence change or closure was found on the bank's site. Source
