Akiba Commercial Bank Plc (ACB) commenced banking operations in August 1997 as an initiative of over 300 Tanzanian entrepreneurs who were inspired overall to move into micro-finance, by the moral and economical concern for the plight of Tanzanians. These founder members were bound together by a strong conviction that in Akiba, they would have the vehicle with which they would reach and touch the lives of previously un-banked and commercially undeserved men and women of Tanzania.
