The awards ceremony was attended by numerous ministers of finance, central bank governors and bank CEOs. Mr. Yannick Mbiya Ngandu, member of TMB executive management committee, received the award trophy on behalf of the Bank.

The African Banker Awards was one of the first events created exclusively for the sector to celebrate and recognise the individuals and financial institutions contributing to the rapid modernisation of Africa's banking industry and to changed perceptions of the continent's domestic and international markets. It remains the only competition event exclusively for the African banking community to be endorsed by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the High Patron of the event and the leading sponsor.

TMB is extremely honored to have won the award of the Best Bank in Central Africa. The award goes to the bank that has excelled in the banking industry in the region. The winning bank is the one that has succeeded in reaching out to new customers, promoting financial inclusion by bringing the unbanked into the banking space, and has made use of new technologies, whilst all the time contributing to a stronger financial sector. The winning bank has demonstrated strong credentials across its activities and played an active role in driving economic growth in the region.

TMB, notre banque pour la vie.
