In 1975, in Nkamba village, Eastern Province, a group of ordinary Rwandans had an extraordinary dream: access to finance for better livelihoods. From this desire to improve living conditions through economic empowerment, the first, Bank Populaire came into being.
"Banques Populaires" became the foundation for numerous community-based savings and credit institutions in Rwanda. Their growth led to the formation of "Union des Banques Populaires du Rwanda (UBPR), an umbrella institution which transformed into a fully fledged commercial bank in 2008.
Suitably dubbed the neighbourhood bank, BPRhas grown to become the bank with the widest network in Rwanda, providing financial services to the most remote parts of the country.
In keeping with its endeavor to drive financial inclusion and provide revolutionary financial services in Eastern Africa, the KCB Group acquired BPR from Atlas Mara Mauritius Ltd. By merging KCB Bank Rwanda and BPR, customers will have access to a larger network of branches and agents across the country.
