History
The bank was opened in 1963 under the name Banque Commerciale du Rwanda (BCR) or Commercial Bank of Rwanda. In the beginning, it was wholly owned by the Government of Rwanda. In 2004, it was privatized. As of April 2010, Actis Capital owned 80 percent and the Rwandan government owned the remaining 20 percent of the financial institution.[6] Actis Capital is a private equity investment firm, headquartered in London, United Kingdom, that specializes in investments in developing countries. The firm's investment portifolio was almost US$5 billion as of April 2010.
In July 2012, Actis Capital divested from BCR by selling its shares to a consortium of the I&M Bank Group from Kenya, PROPARCO from France, and the German Investment Corporation. The Rwandan government retained its shares in the bank.[7][8]
In August 2013, the bank rebranded to I&M Bank (Rwanda) to reflect its current shareholding.[9] In April 2015, the Rwandan government announced plans to dispose its entire stake in the bank in a planned initial public offering scheduled for later in 2015.[10]
