As of 30 September 2019, the bank's total assets were valued at RWF:30.23 billion (US$32.44 million), with shareholders' equity of RWF:7.015 billion (US$7.53 million). [2]

History

In November 2015, the CBA Group, Kenya's largest privately owned financial services provider publicly announced their intention to enter the Rwandan market. [6] The group applied for a banking licence from the Rwanda authorities. [6]

In December 2016, the National Bank of Rwanda issued CBA Rwanda with a micro-finance banking licence. [7] [8] In May 2017, CBA Rwanda, a microfinance institution, made public its intention to acquire Crane Bank Rwanda, a commercial bank, whose parent company in Uganda had been sold and the buyers of the parent did not want to keep the Rwandan subsidiary. [9] On 15 June 2017 CBA Group signed a definitive sale and purchase agreement with DFCU Bank, the owners of Crane Bank Rwanda. The acquisition required regulatory approval in Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda. [10]

Commercial bank status

On Monday, 21 February 2018, The EastAfrican reported that the requisite approvals for the purchase of Crane Bank Rwanda had been received from the Bank of Uganda, the Central Bank of Kenya and the National Bank of Rwanda. The acquired assets and liabilities, including two operational branches in Kigali, are expected to be merged with the existing micro-finance operations of CBA Rwanda. [4] On 19 March 2018, the refurbished branches of Crane Bank Rwanda, opened as CBA Bank Rwanda, a commercial bank. [3] [11]

Group merger

In September 2019, Commercial Bank of Africa Group, the parent company of the Commercial Bank of Africa (Rwanda), received regulatory approval from the Central Bank of Kenya and from the Kenya Ministry of Finance, to merge with the NIC Bank Group, effective 1 October 2019. It is expected that this bank will re-brand to NCBA Bank Rwanda, subject to the approval of the National Bank of Rwanda. [12] [13] On 13 January 2020, NCBA Bank Rwanda received a new commercial banking license from the National Bank of Rwanda. [14] [15]
