History

The firm was incorporated in 1997. In 2006, 49% shareholding in AmalSec was purchased by Meekly Enterprises of Nigeria. Meeky is also a major shareholder in Oceanic Group De Banco, one of Nigeria's leading financial services providers.[1] In 2007, the total asset valuation of AmalSec was estimated at US$136 million.[2] In June 2009, it was reported in the online Ghanaian publication "Public Agenda" that the total assets of AmalSec had doubled in 2008.[3] It is therefore estimated that the total assets of the securities firm, as of June 2009, is approximately US$272 million.

Acquisition by Banner of Africa Group

In April 2011, majority shareholding (60%) in AmalSec was acquired by the banner of Bank Of Africa Group (B.O.A). AmalSec then went under the umbrella of the parent company Bank Of Africa Ghana Limited (B.O.A)[4]
