ZB Financial Holdings expands to Botswana

ZB Financial Holdings (ZBFH) has announced that it will be expanding its operations to Botswana. The move has been necessitated by the need for the group to diversify its revenue sources as stated by the Group CEO Shepherd Fungura.

From a strategic point, ZBFH was motivated to establish in Botswana due to the need to grow in the region and diversify revenue streams. For the ZBFH group, this move is a stepping stone for identifying further growth opportunities in its key areas of specialisation; banking, insurance and investments not only in Botswana but the rest of the continent.
