History
The bank registered as a commercial bank on 15 March 1969. Initially it began with K2.5 million and the founder shareholders were the Malawi Development Corporation (20%), Press Holdings Limited (20%) and Banco Pinto Sotto Mayor (60%). The first branch was opened in Limbe on 11 April 1970.[3]
In June 1998, the company's stock was listed on the Malawi Stock Exchange after a successful IPO.[4]
In December 2001, Standard Bank, through its subsidiary Stanbic Africa Holdings, acquired a 60.18% interest in the bank and became the majority shareholder. The Commercial Bank of Malawi then went through several name changes from Stanbic Bank to Standard Bank Limited on June 1, 2007 to identify with its parent bank, the Standard Bank Group of South Africa.
