Hon. Doto Biteko Commends Exim Bank for Opening a Branch in Kahama District

Shinyanga: We have reaffirmed our commitment to financial inclusion and service expansion by officially launching its new branch in Kahama District, Shinyanga Region. This new branch aims to enhance access to financial services for businesses, individuals, and institutions in the district. The Guest of Honor at the launch event was Hon. Doto Biteko, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy.

Speaking during the launch, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jaffari Matundu, emphasized the significance of this expansion in strengthening the financial sector:

“Kahama is one of the key economic hubs in the country, with industries that contribute significantly to national development. This town is well known for its role in the mining sector, particularly gold production, making Kahama a crucial player in Tanzania’s economy.”

He added, “By opening this branch, our goal is to cater to the diverse financial needs of these sectors—whether through business financing, digital banking services, or financial products designed to foster economic growth.”

The Kahama branch offers a full range of banking services, including business and personal accounts, treasury services, and digital banking solutions. Customers will benefit from our bank’s modern, competitive, and customer-centric financial solutions tailored to the evolving market demands.

Hon. Doto Biteko commended us for our expansion efforts, highlighting the vital role of financial institutions in national economic development:

“The government has been encouraging our institutions to fly the Tanzanian flag beyond our borders through strategic investments. I would like to commend Exim Bank for representing us well in Comoros, Uganda, Djibouti, and Ethiopia.”

“The government has placed significant emphasis on ensuring financial services reach more Tanzanians, especially those outside the formal financial system. On behalf of the government, I take this opportunity to congratulate Exim Bank on this remarkable milestone and its efforts to bring financial services closer to the people,” said Hon. Biteko.

The new branch demonstrates our bank’s commitment to providing inclusive and accessible financial solutions while expanding its presence in key regions across Tanzania. Through innovation and customer-focused service delivery, we continue to be a key financial development partner in the country.

As we strengthen our presence in Kahama, it remains dedicated to empowering individuals and businesses with accessible, reliable, and modern financial services.

This expansion is part of the bank’s broader strategy to drive economic growth, support local businesses, and enhance financial literacy within communities. With a customer-first approach and a long-term vision for success, We are ready to transform financial services and contribute to sustainable development across Tanzania.
