The story

Access Bank (Rwanda) PLC is a commercial bank that operates in Rwanda. The bank was officially launched in January, 2009 after fulfilling all regulatory requirements. Formerly BANCOR SA Rwanda and created in 1995 by foreign investors, the bank was restructured in 2001 after its takeover by Rwandan and South African private investors. Having commenced operations in Kigali, the Bank has since expanded its operations by extending its network to Nyabugogo, Rubavu and Rusizi. Access Bank Plc, one of the largest banks in Nigeria, officially acquired BANCOR S.A. after its successful acquisition of a 75 percent stake.
