The bank saw a profit of 4.27 billion TZS, an increase of over 25% from the previous year quarter.

Bank M Deputy CEO Jacqueline Woiso said “We are really pleased with the performance of our bank in the first quarter and like the other previous quarters and years, this has been possible on account of our ability to successfully execute our strategy.”
She added “this outstanding performance of our bank in all aspects of banking has enabled the bank to grow quickly and earn its place among the top ten banks in the country and also gives us confidence in our ability to continue with the past performance trend and aim to scale greater heights in the years to come.”
