The story

The bank was established in 2002 as Premier Finance Group, a merchant bank.

In January 2011, Ecobank Transnational acquired majority shareholding in Premier Finance Group, at US$10 million. Following the change in ownership, the institution rebranded to Ecobank Zimbabwe in May 2011. It also requested and was granted permission to change its merchant banking license to a commercial banking license. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe granted EBZ a commercial banking license, effective 15 May 2012.
