Euromoney Africa Awards for Excellence

NMB has also won the Best Bank in Tanzania for the 5th year in a row

NMB PLC has been named the Best Bank Transformation in Africa by the leading global financial markets magazine at the Euromoney 2017 Awards for Excellence in London. NMB has also been awarded the Best Bank in Tanzania Award at the same event for 5th year in a row. 

Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2017, the most prestigious awards in the global banking industry, welcomed over 600 senior bankers from around the world at the Tower of London last week with NMB named the Best Bank Transformation in Africa and the Best Bank in Tanzania.

Euromoney said. “NMB today is the bank that works, rather than one which exists. Tough decisions around capital, businesses and people have been made. Throughout that process, NMB has continued to deliver strong profits and pay industry-leading dividends to shareholders.”
NMB’s Managing Director, Ineke Bussemaker, said innovative products, technology and investments in digital banking coupled with the widest branch network and ATM’s have contributed to the transformation of the bank making it the best bank for financial inclusion.
“Solving the challenge of the countries unbanked will take investment, innovation and an ability to bring together key players in payments and other banking services. Currently, we are one of the key players in financial inclusion in the country and will continue to bring banking solutions fit for the majority.” said Ineke
Ms Ineke added that winning the Best Bank Transformation in Africa and the Best Bank in Tanzania awards is a clear indication that our efforts are recognized not just in Tanzania but across the region.

“We would like to thank our clients, staff and investors for helping us achieve this impressive accolade,” said Ms Ineke, adding that NMB will continue with its commitment to serve its customers better now and in future.
Clive Horwood, Euromoney’s editor, said: “The banks that have won our awards have, for the large part, also taken important decisions on their own strategy. Banking in the future will be about what you do, as well as what you don’t do. This year our most successful banks have clearly defined what their core strengths are, and built their businesses around them.”
