Exim Bank Tanzania

EBT was formed in 1997 by a group of Tanzanian business people, following the liberalization of the Tanzanian economy. It reportedly broke even within the first five months of operation. As of November 2019, EBT maintained wholly owned banking subsidiaries in the Comoros, Djibouti and Uganda. It is the first indigenous Tanzanian bank to own subsidiaries outside the country, as at March 2016. In April 2010, the bank was authorized by the Bank of Tanzania to establish subsidiaries in Djibouti and Zambia, thus setting up the Exim Bank (East Africa) Group, a regional banking financial services organization. In March 2016, EBT acquired 58.6% of Imperial Bank (Uganda) Limited and changed its name to Exim Bank (Uganda) Limited. In November 2019, Exim Bank Tanzania acquired the businesses and assets of United Bank Tanzania Limited, a subsidiary of the Pakistan bank, United Bank Limited. In July 2022, Exim Bank Tanzania acquired First National Bank of Tanzania, bringing total group assets to TSh 2.4 trillion (US$1.033+ billion).

As of October 2017, EBT maintains 33 branches at the following locations inside Tanzania:

Clock Tower Branch - Samora Avenue, Dar es Salaam

Exim Tower Branch - Exim Tower, Dar es Salaam

Hill Park Branch - Mlimani City, Dar es Salaam
