as the full spectrum of retail and consumer banking.
Through the experience and expertise of FBZ's
executives and associates, together with a thorough
knowledge of the Zambia market and its technical and
proven capacity, FBZ is the primary Zambian based
financial institution that can offer our clients a
complete package of commercial and boutique banking
services, business-linkage, combined with the
timeous and efficient implementation of transactions
as well as relationship / risk review capabilities,
adherence to reporting schedules and strategic
policy analysis.
FBZ represents a unique key to the Zambian, COMESA
and Central African markets. As the leading and
largest indigenous private bank, we have become a
household name during our 20 years of service to the
Zambian Community. Since inception, the Bank has
continued to register strong performance and growth
from an initial one single branch operation in
Lusaka to an impressive network of 33 branches and
10 agencies located in all major commercial and
agriculture centres of Zambia. Our network ranks
second in the country and our branches stretch to
the Malawi, Congo, Angola, Namibia and Zimbabwe
borders.
Finance Bank leverages a strong nationwide presence
to deliver a broad range of core banking and
tailored financial services, with specialized
financing provided through the Bank's head office,
through which we have been able to contribute
significantly towards Zambian business and economic
development.
In project financing the Bank has been a leader
through our creative financing and funding
mechanisms. In recent years over US$30million has
been disbursed for small and medium-size business
development. This portfolio currently stands at
US$21million.
In partnership with the World Bank, Finance Bank has
provided funding through the Enterprise Development
Fund ("EDF") for the acquisition and upgrading of
productive assets, and for the expansion of capacity
and production in sectors such as agriculture,
milling, fisheries, manufacturing and hospitality.
The Bank was also selected by the International
Finance Corporation ("IFC") to provide on-lending
facilities for Zambian commercial projects.
FBZ is also cognisant of the need to continually
improve the environment in which our staff operate
to ensure that we meet the constantly rising
expectation of our customers, both in terms of
service quality and the Bank's physical image. To
meet both challenges, an intensive staff re-training
programme has been initiated at all levels, with a
view to match international best practices and
develop the necessary confidence and capacity in our
human resources. In addition, an ambitious
refurbishment programme is currently underway which
will further facilitate operational efficiency,
customer comfort and greater pride in our
institution. |
