Our People, Our Source of Fresh Thinking and Smart Banking
The Bank commenced operations in 1996 as an asset financing
institution under the joint ownership of CDC Capital Partners
(CDC), International Finance Corporation (IFC), TDFL and the Union
Dominions Corporation (UDC).
Following the merger of UDC with First Merchant Bank and BARD
Investment Services, and the subsequent re-branding as African
Banking Corporation, ABC Holdings Limited (ABCH) listed on the
Botswana (primary) and Zimbabwe (secondary) Stock Exchanges.
The Bank in Tanzania was granted full commercial banking status by
the Bank of Tanzania in 2002.
In 2004, the ABCH Group successfully concluded the acquisition
of a 68% interest in Tanzania Development Finance Company Ltd
(TDFL) from the existing international shareholders, i.e. IFC, CDC,
DEG, FMO and EIB. The Government of Tanzania has remained a key
shareholder (32%) in TDFL. The operations of Capital Finance
Limited, the operating arm of TDFL were merged with the Bank.
BancABC operated as a merchant bank since 2002 and introduced
retail banking operations in 2008. The Bank opened its first
