Makokou, Gabon — June 20, 2026 – A crucial phase in Gabon’s financial history was marked today as the repayment process for depositors of Poste Bank SA officially began in the town of Makokou.
The event, witnessed by the governor of the province of Ogooué-Ivindo, Christiane Leckat, represents the government’s commitment to alleviating the financial strain faced by the bank’s affected customers.
The governor highlighted the importance of the repayment as a demonstration of President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema’s promise, noting that the operation has been in the making since the transition period. Beneficiaries, who had been awaiting their funds since 2015, expressed their gratitude to the president for this initiative.
The repayment process is expected to benefit 18,972 depositors, with cash vouchers being distributed for amounts up to 5 million FCFA, while 540 will receive their funds via bank transfer.
The operation, set to continue until June 23, will also see the initiation of payments at the local Treasury on June 16. Efforts to enhance the efficiency and safety of the process include the establishment of a digital platform by La Poste, enabling depositors to check their status remotely, reducing the need for physical visits to banks and post offices.
The timely execution of this operation reflects the government’s proactive stance in resolving Poste Bank SA’s financial difficulties, a move that is expected to bolster confidence in the country’s financial sector.
