As part of the presidential initiative, “One District One Bank,” Moza Banco has just opened two new banking branches in the provinces of Tete (Tsangano District) and Nampula (Memba District).

Moza Banco has just taken an important step towards becoming the financial institution with the 3rd largest branches’ network in the country with the opening of Tsangano and Memba branches under the presidential initiative "one district a bank" launched in 2016 which urges banks to at least have one branch in each district throughout the country.

With the start-up of these aforementioned Business Units local and surrounding communities now have a “door-to-door” bank where they can conveniently and securely save their money, carry out banking operations and find the right financial solutions for their specific needs.

By embracing this initiative, Moza is in line with its commitment of promoting greater financial inclusion to the services of the national economy promoting banking services to districts not yet covered yet by expanding its activity to districts that do not have coverage in terms of network of banking branches, as Moza believes that the financial and other related services in the districts will unleash the potential of these areas, fostering local and sustainable communities’ development.

Under the partnership with the Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural Development, Moza has already six (6) branches operating fully in the districts of Chicualacuala (in Gaza province); Gondola and Vanduzi (in Manica), Murrupula and Memba (in Nampula) and Tsangano (in Tete).

Moza currently has the third largest branches’ network in the country consisting of more than 57 business units spread throughout the provincial capitals and some districts and villages centres. In addition to these existing Moza’s branches’ network seven (7) more branches will be added as a result of the on-going integration and merger of BTM and Moza; thereby, increasing the condition of a truly universal bank in terms of branches’ network’s coverage with a strong national implementation.
