As of December 2013, the bank was a mid-sized financial institution, providing banking services to individuals and businesses, with emphasis on serving medium to large corporate clients. At that time, the bank's total assets were valued at approximately US$175.5 million (TZS:296.6 billion), with shareholders' equity estimated at US$17.4 million (TZS:29.4 billion).

History

The bank started operations in Tanzania in 2002 as CF Union Bank, with headquarters in Dar-es-Salaam. By 2010 it operated two branches in Dar-es-Salaam and a third branch in Arusha. In January that year, the shareholders of CF Union Bank sold the bank to a consortium headed by I&M Bank Group. Other investors in the consortium included PROPARCO, the French Development Agency, Kibo Fund, a private equity firm based in Mauritius and Michael Shirima, a Tanzanian businessman who is the largest shareholder in Precision Air. In September 2010, the bank changed its name from CF Union Bank to I&M Bank (Tanzania) Limited, to reflect the new ownership.
