Atlas Mara Zambia is borne out of the merger between
BancABC Zambia and Finance Bank Zambia. The new brand
was unveiled, by Honourable Felix Mutati, Minister of Finance
and National Planning on the 3rd of November 2017.
The new brand is being introduced to the BancABC Zambia and
FBZ branch network across Zambia. The rebrand represents
a new era for our operations in Zambia as it positions us as a
positive disruptive force in the market, by bringing to bear the
full weight of Atlas Mara’s innovation, capital and expertise.
The amalgamation of the two banks has resulted in a stronger,
bigger and more innovative bank with a footprint of 74
branches and 176 ATMs, spread across Zambia’s ten provinces.
Atlas Mara has a combined wealth of over 90 years of banking
history and experience. We would like to assure our customers
that the new brand will have a positive impact on the running of
our day to day business and on the services we offer to you, our
valued customers.
Atlas Mara is committed to serving our customers the best way
possible. Thus, we would like to express our gratitude to all our
customers who continuously make us their bank of choice.
We remain thankful.
