Angola's RTGS processes AOA settlements. Banco Angolano de Investimentos (BAI), Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA), and Banco BIC are the primary SWIFT correspondents. Luanda processes massive oil export revenues — Angola is Africa's second-largest oil producer after Nigeria — predominantly in USD, which passes through New York and London correspondents before reaching Angolan banks. The kwanza's historic volatility has made USD the preferred denomination for commercial contracts.
