ABBL member ecosystem is structured in:
Business Clusters – Strategic groups by sector to align with market evolution

Each cluster is chaired by a Chairperson, who also sits on the ABBL Board to ensure the cluster’s voice contributes to the association’s overall governance.
The ABBL is structured around five core business clusters, each representing a major segment of the banking sector:
