I&M Bank Tanzania Limited History

I&M bank began its operations in Tanzania as CF Union Bank in 2002, with head offices in Dar-es-Salaam. The bank had two branches situated in Dar es Salaam by 2010 as well as a third in Arusha.  The owners of the CF Union Bank sold it to a consortium led by the I&M Bank Group in January 2010. PROPARCO, the French Development Agency, Kibo Fund, a Mauritius-based private equity company, and Michael Shirima, a businessman from Tanzania and Precision Air’s largest stakeholder were also among the consortium’s investors.

To reflect the change in ownership, the bank was renamed I&M Bank Limited (Tanzania) in September 2010.
