Who is our customer

I and M Bank (T) Ltd came into operation in 2010 when I and M Bank Kenya acquired CF Union Bank which had been operating in Tanzania since 2001. I and M Bank (T) Ltd is a commercial bank in Tanzania offering a full range of banking services targeted at corporates, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), and individuals.

What is our funding objective?

The long term loan will help I and M Bank (T) Ltd in onward lending to its customers and thereby stimulating economic growth and job creation through development of the SME and mid-corporate sector in the country.

Why do we fund this investment?

This transaction represents an excellent opportunity to expand and deepen FMOs existing partnership with the I and M Group beyond the existing USD 25 million facility with I&M Bank Kenya. The I and M Group started as a financial service company in Kenya in 1974 with a currently growing regional presence in Rwanda, Mauritius and Tanzania. Since the entry of the I and M Group in Tanzania, in 2001 it expanded their branch network to 8 branches spread across the key strategic locations in the country and established a well-known name in the market. I and M Group's focus on SMEs is in line with FMOs strategy to support SMEs as core and vital drivers for countries' growth and development.
