Enabling trusted continuity and long-term confidence as custodian to Africa’s largest pension fund.

Every retirement represents a lifetime of contribution to South Africa’s growth and progress, from educators shaping future generations, to healthcare workers supporting communities, and public servants helping keep the country moving forward. Behind every pension payment lies the need for trusted stewardship, operational resilience and institutional certainty.

Against this backdrop, Absa Corporate and Investment Banking is proud to partner with the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF), Africa’s largest pension fund, with more than R3 trillion in assets under management.

Through an integrated custodial ecosystem, Absa Corporate and Investment Banking delivers the governance, precision and continuity required to support one of the continent’s most significant institutional mandates. Our custodial capabilities are designed to safeguard assets, enable operational efficiency and provide the confidence required to manage retirement outcomes at scale.

Supported by a unified custodial model, dedicated delivery teams and proven implementation expertise, Absa helps enable the long-term financial wellbeing of more than 1.267 million active members, pensioners and beneficiaries across South Africa. This mandate reflects our ability to combine institutional-scale solutions with trusted partnership, operational excellence and a deep understanding of the responsibilities that come with stewarding retirement assets across generations.

By combining global custodial standards with African market expertise, Absa continues to support institutions with solutions that are resilient, transparent and future-focused.
