This accolade is great testament to our customers’ loyalty and support and also the hard work of all my colleagues in the bank. Our strong focus in offering unique trade finance solutions and innovative digital products and services are successfully driving financial inclusion and integration in Zimbabwe.

“It’s barely nine years ago (in 2011) when Ecobank Zimbabwe commenced its operations in Zimbabwe, after our Parent company, Ecobank Transnational Incorporated finalized the purchase of majority shareholding in a local Merchant bank. Eight-and-half years later after following a restructuring exercise, it has emerged to become one of Zimbabwe’s top performing banks. I wish to use this opportunity to dedicate this award, firstly to all our customers (both at home and abroad) for their unwavering support throughout all these years; and secondly to the Board, management and staff of Ecobank Zimbabwe Limited who have worked tirelessly to see the success of the bank.”
