About Us

Founded in 1993 as a Finance and Securities Company, Imperial Bank converted into a fully fledged commercial bank in January 1996. Since then the bank has had a long standing tradition of achieving strong financial performance and carrying out expansion strategies while successfully focusing on efficient client service delivery.

Over the last 16 years, Imperial Bank has achieved a sustained growth in our customer deposit base which is largely attributed to the level of confidence our customers have in the bank and our corporate strategy. Currently we have 12 branches in our expanding branch network across major towns and cities.
