We are part of TP ICAP, the world’s largest money broking firm. At ICAP Africa, we are financial market risk experts, we do not just offer execution and information — we offer practical solutions and strategies to mitigate risk and solve real problems.

We listen, model scenarios, and leverage our extensive network of banks, liquidity partners, and industry experts to help clients navigate the complexities of operating in Africa. With deep local insight into legal, operational, and structural hurdles, we equip our clients to thrive — even in environments where transparency is limited.

Across numerous different industries, from fintech and healthcare to logistics and energy, we offer tailor-made, innovative solutions that go beyond the ordinary.

For example:

needed to invest in local currency across several African markets while hedging FX risk. We modelled various scenarios and delivered a cost-effective, structured solution that protected them against depreciation while maintaining flexibility over cash flows.

struggled to access hard currency in a difficult market. We connected them with the best counterparties for price and regular liquidity to secure the currency they needed. Rather than just surviving, the company can now confidently plan its expansion in those markets.

faced difficulties in repatriating funds. We designed a process for them that mitigated all credit and transaction risk, allowing the company to efficiently get rid of their FX backlog and plan forward payments.

, if you are marking to market your African FX book at the local central bank rates you could be in for a nasty surprise when you are forced to repatriate the funds at a much higher rate. We can give you real time information on the actual FX rate where liquidity exists.

At ICAP Africa, we don’t just solve problems — we scale solutions that evolve with our clients' needs. If you are interested in receiving our ‘Morning Wake-Up Call’, a daily financial market report analysing the most important news from markets around Africa, please let us know.
