First of all, on behalf of the Governor of Reserve Bank of Malawi, and indeed on my own behalf, I would like to congratulate OIBM for its visible effort in making banking services available to all people, particularly the rural masses in a manner that is convenient to them.
This is evidenced by the increasing number of customers and retail outlets it has opened since commencing banking operations a few years ago. Statistics show that OIBM is one of the largest private sector microfinance providers in Malawi.
