The story

The bank was founded in 1996, registering as a corporate entity, receiving a banking license and commencing banking operations during that year. In the beginning, the institution was privately held and was known as Investrust Merchant Bank Zambia Limited. In 2002, the bank's name was changed to Investrust Bank Limited. During 2004, the bank's stock was provisionally listed on the Lusaka Stock Exchange (LUSE) for the first time. In 2007 the bank's stock became fully listed on the LUSE. In April 2024 the Bank of Zambia formally took possession of the bank due to insolvency. In July 2025 the bank was formerly delisted.
