Now the single First Capital Bank name and brand will reflect this. Our regional reach not only means that clients can avail themselves of banking services and solutions across markets seamlessly, but also that their relationship with the bank extends into new markets.”

Last year the group acquired a majority shareholding in the holding company of Barclays Bank of Zimbabwe and as per the transition arrangement, the bank will migrate from the Barclays PLC brand to a co-brand for two years. The Zimbabwe operation will be rebranded as “First Capital Bank in association with Barclays”.
