Acting Managing Director, Jorum Kiarie, has announced that the bank will open a new outlet at Oysterbay, Dar-Es-Salaam, next week, bringing to six the number of branches operated by East Africa’s largest bank, in the capital city.
“We want to position our operations close to our target market so as to tap into the vast potential in this country,” said Kiarie.
