Overview

CBAT serves the banking needs of individuals and businesses in Tanzania. Like its parent company in Kenya, CBAT focuses on meeting the banking needs of large corporations, diplomatic missions, NGOs and high-end private clients.

History

The bank was founded in 1962 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Soon, branches were opened in Nairobi & Mombasa, Kenya and in Kampala, Uganda. When Tanzania nationalized private banks in 1967, the bank moved its headquarters to Nairobi. Following political changes in Uganda in 1971, the bank sold its assets in that country. In July 2005, Commercial Bank of Africa (CBA) acquired majority shareholding in First American Bank of Kenya, which at the time had a Tanzanian subsidiary called United Bank of Africa.[3]. In 2007, United Bank of Africa rebranded to Commercial Bank of Africa (Tanzania), returning the brand to the country since 1967.[4] In October 2011, the CBA Group anounced plans to enter Uganda.[5]
