Despite its encouraging figures, La Banque Postale du Congo is experiencing some difficulties. These include, for example, logistical and infrastructure constraints; limited cash flow; and difficulties in recovering certain receivables.

According to the Bank's Managing Director, these recovery difficulties are mainly due to the fact that some customers, who benefit from the Bank's loans, change their Payment Methods (MDR), in flagrant violation of the Banking Regulations.

Among its ambitions, BPC is considering creating a banking group; To implement a prepaid Visa card, called Bomengo; To launch international trade finance and trading; To strengthen and support leasing activities and the Kimia Development investment fund.
