Banking System

The banking industry in Sierra Leone, presently consist of six (6) commercial banks.

Prior to the rebel incursion in the country, these commercial banks operated a network of branches in all the major towns in the country.

However, most of their activities were curtailed as most branches closed down due to the insecurity that prevailed during those years.

Since relative peace has returned to the country, the banks have resuscitated their activities in most of the provincial areas and the Freetown environs by reopening their branches.
