The objective of this article is to contribute to a better understanding of the contribution of ethics in banking governance. The field of investigation is Cameroon. The study covers three subsidiary banks with predominantly Pan-African capital. The empirical material results from an approach marked by documentary study and the realization of semi-structured interviews with managers and bank customers. The results of the analysis show that the banks surveyed see ethics as a governance tool that enables them to improve their image and reputation. They open a reflection on the governance model capable of promoting the consideration of ethics within the banks surveyed.
