… 80 years later Rawbank was born.

Thanks to its in-depth knowledge of the market and the needs of economic operators, the Rawji family decided to invest in the banking sector.

This is how Rawbank was born in 2002.

Its objective? To give its clients in DRC – companies and individuals – access to the most modern techniques, services, and products of the banking and financial sectors, hence the relevance of its slogan:
