NCBA Bank Rwanda Opens New Rubavu Branch, Expands Presence in Western Province
NCBA Bank Rwanda has expanded its national footprint with the official opening of a new branch in Rubavu District, reaffirming its commitment to making banking accessible, inclusive, and impactful across the country. This latest expansion aligns with NCBA’s mission to be present where it matters most and to deliver customer-centered financial solutions and value across the region.
“As a regionally trusted bank, NCBA can be depended on to provide the best banking experience for customers in Rubavu and neighbouring areas,” said Maurice Toroitich, Managing Director of NCBA Bank Rwanda, during the opening ceremony on Friday, August 8.
“We believe Rubavu’s growing economy holds immense potential. Our presence here is not just about access—it’s about partnership and helping our customers scale their dreams responsibly and sustainably.”
Speaking on the significance of this milestone, Chairman of the NCBA Bank Rwanda Board, Amb. Dr. Benjamin Rugangazi, remarked:
“Opening this branch reflects our belief in the country’s vision for economic inclusivity and decentralisation. We are committed to supporting Rwanda’s financial ecosystem and empowering communities beyond Kigali.”
Rubavu serves as a vital gateway for cross-border trade into one of Africa’s largest untapped markets, the Democratic Republic of Congo. Entrepreneurs from both sides of the border rely heavily on Rwandan banks to secure their deposits and facilitate transactions. The region’s dynamic economy—driven by imports, exports, hospitality, and agriculture—makes it an ideal location for NCBA’s value-driven banking model.
Welcoming the bank to the region, Vice Mayor for Economic Development of Rubavu District, Deogratius Nzabonimpa, shared his appreciation: “The presence of NCBA Bank in Rubavu is timely and impactful. It boosts our district’s financial capacity, supports regional trade, and creates new opportunities for our residents and businesses to access quality banking services.”
This expansion reinforces NCBA’s vision of building a strong and sustainable banking network across Rwanda—one that is inclusive, forward-thinking, and committed to inspiring greatness in every community it serves.
