The African Banking Corporation of Tanzania (ABCT) Limited, formerly held by Atlas Mara Limited, has been bought successfully by Access Bank Plc, a commercial bank that encourages and delivers sustainable economic growth that is profitable, environmentally responsible and socially relevant.

Following the completion of this deal, ABCT will combine with Standard Chartered Bank Tanzania’s business, personal, and consumer banking activities, which Access Bank previously purchased.

Roosevelt Ogbonna, Managing Director of Access Bank, highlighted the innovative impact of the acquisition and stated that the strategic move marks a significant milestone in their expansion journey, paving the way for seamless intra-African trade within the East African region, across Africa, and globally.

Formally declared in July 2023, the completion of this acquisition is a testament to Access Bank’s growth and development ambitions.

This achievement came soon after African Banking Corporation Zambia Limited, which was doing business as Atlas Mara Zambia, was purchased. With the completion of this transaction and the acquisition of the necessary regulatory clearances, Access Bank Zambia Limited became the sole owner of Atlas Mara.

The merger will put the combined businesses in the top five banks in Zambia in terms of revenue, with the potential to rank in the top three by 2027. Until integration processes are completed, the two banks will continue to function separately.
