History

BOA Rwanda was formed in November 2003 as Centre Financier aux Entrepreneurs Agaseke (CFE SA Agaseke) with the aim of providing financial services to small and medium-sized businesses. On 14 December 2010, the shareholders adopted a resolution to convert CFE SA Agaseke to a microfinance bank and adopted the name Agaseke Bank. The bank was granted a banking license by the National Bank of Rwanda, the national banking regulator, in 2011 and commenced commercial banking services in the same year. [5]

On October 15, 2015, the Bank of Africa Group announced its acquisition of a 90% stake in Agaseke Bank. [6] This led to Agaske Bank changing its name to Bank of Africa Rwanda Limited and conversion to a commercial bank. [1]
