Geita. Seeking to bring its financial services closer to the people, NMB Bank Plc has opened a new branch in Mbogwe District, Geita Region. The new branch takes to 25 the number of branches in the region and 229 across the country.
Speaking at the launch, Geita Regional Commissioner Gabriel Luhumbi said the branch comes at a time when plans are afoot to transform Geita into an economic hub in East Africa as it connects directly to all the major cities in the region.
“Geita is endowed with an abundance of gold, milk, honey, rice, etc, and it connects to Kigali, Kampala, Congo and Dodoma, and is thus very strategic for investment and trade opportunities.
“I advise you to take advantage of this new branch to keep your money safe. Whenever you get money, put it in the bank or finalise all transactions directly at the bank,” he said.
Apart from praising NMB for bringing financial services closer to the people in Mbogwe, Mr Gabriel requested the bank not only to avail banking services but also look into the possibility of organising an economic forum aimed at imparting financial literacy and showcasing business opportunities available in the country.
Mbogwe District Commissioner Martha Mkupasi said the bank was an important partner in the government’s drive to bring financial services closer to the people.
