History
Tseday Bank was founded in 1988 as a small institution with just 6 branches and 49 employees, serving 672 savers and a capital of 3 million Birr. By 2004, it had expanded significantly, growing to 214 branches, employing 2,859 staff, and attracting over 1.48 million savers, with savings reaching 1.05 billion Birr. By 2017, the bank had become a major player with 627 branches and a workforce of 13,000+ employees, serving more than 14 million customers. Its assets stood at ETB 56.6 billion, with ETB 34.2 billion in deposits and ETB 37.6 billion in loans.
The bank's journey began in 1995 as a rural credit initiative under the Organization for Rehabilitation and Development Ethiopia (ORDA-Ethiopia). In 1997, it transformed into the Amhara Credit & Savings Institution (ACSI), focusing on microfinance. Over the years, ACSI helped shape Ethiopia’s microfinance sector, operating with an initial capital of 3 million Birr and a small team.
In January 2022, Tseday Bank transitioned into a full commercial bank after receiving its official banking license. Today, it serves over 14 million customers and boasts assets of ETB 56.6 billion, with a capital exceeding ETB 12.8 billion. Tseday Bank is also known for offering Shariah-compliant, interest-free banking services under the brand 'Arhibu', alongside a wide range of traditional banking products.
