Who is our customer
National Microfinance Bank Plc. (NMB) is one of the largest commercial banks in Tanzania, providing banking services to individuals, SMEs and corporates. With 170 branches the bank is located in more than 95% of Tanzania's districts. This broad branch network enables NMB to provide access to finance to citizens in all areas of Tanzania, including the most remote.
What is our funding objective?
FMO provides long-term funding in order to indirectly support private sector development (via USD earning companies) and to contribute to FMO's strategy of stimulating economic growth. The sub-borrowers are mainly exporters, an important segment to finance in a country with a large trade deficit.
Why do we fund this investment?
Long-term USD funding remains scarce in Tanzania. Beyond that, FMO's funding will support the further development of the bank’s corporate and SME portfolio, which are considered an important driving force of the Tanzanian economy.
