I&M Bank Rwanda achieves 18% profit growth, deposits cross Rwf1tn in Q1 2026
I&M Bank Rwanda started the 2026 financial year on a strong footing, posting an 18 per cent increase in net profit to Rwf6.4 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period last year, driven by strong growth in lending, rising customer deposits, and improved operational efficiency.
According to the Bank’s unaudited financial results release, it also recorded a 26 per cent year-to-date growth in total loans to Rwf613 billion, driven by strong uptake in small and medium enterprise (SME) financing, retail customers, and targeted corporate credit aligned with Rwanda’s key growth sectors.
Customer deposits surged by 22 per cent, crossing the Rwf1 trillion mark, reflecting deepening trust and stronger transactional banking relationships across its client base.
