In the aftermath of the proclamation of the independence of the Ivory Coast, a strong innovative current is exerted on the banking institutions. Societe Generale is making a profound reconversion of the activity of its Ivorian branch, which has been open since 1941. It strengthens its resources by providing it with three wickets operated by the African Commercial Bank which it bought on July 15, 1962. The whole is brought to a new entity, Société Générale Côte d'Ivoire, November 23, 1962.
Société Générale Côte d'Ivoire is founded with the participation of the public authorities and several international financial partners of the first order, among which:
