History

Incorporation

In 1925 the Tanganyika Post Office Savings Bank Ordinance was passed by the British Colonial government that established the Tanganyika Post Office Savings Bank. The bank became operational in just two years in 1927. There were plans to list the shares of the bank on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, but those plans never materialized. [3] [4]

Financial sector reform

After the government of Tanzania began financial sector reform following the end of Ujamaa economic policies in the country, the Tanzania Post office Savings bank was transformed into a separate entity, the Tanzania Postal Bank. The Tanzania Postal Bank Act No. 11 of 1991 created the bank as a separate entity from the Tanzania Posts and Telecommunications Corporation. [5] Since attaining its independence, the bank has provided services to a much larger population than before and it has begun to provide a profit to the government.

Public limited company

In 2015 the bank management declared that the bank will list the bank on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, in order to raise capital to expand and automate the companies operations. [6] On January 19, 2017, the bank officially rebranded the company and Tanzania Postal Bank Limited changed its name to TPB Bank Plc. [7]

Mergers and acquisitions

In 2018, the Bank of Tanzania merged Twiga Bancorp and Tanzania Women's Bank into Tanzania Postal Bank due to their poor performance. In June 2020, the central bank merged TIB Commercial Bank Limited into TPB. The merger is set to bring the total assets of the bank to over 1 trillion Tanzanian Shillings. [8]

Overview

In June 2021, the bank rebranded to Tanzania Commercial Bank, to reflect the national nature of the institution. [9] As of December 2023, the bank's total assets were valued at TSh 1.47 trillion (approx. US$570.36 million). [1]
