The bank put on offers five-million shares worth about 2.75bn/-, which is 88 per cent of the total shares on IPO since the first day and end the last day of this month.

The RC said the bank’s prospectus for the IPO has been approved by the regulator -Capital Market and Securities Authority (CMSA) where a share goes for 550/- per share at a lot of 100 shares.
The prospectus shows in case of oversubscription the bank will retain the excess fund and subscribers will be allotted in full for the amount of shares applied for, but this is subject to CMSA’s approval.
The prospectus shows that the bank in the first year of operation is expected to post a net-loss of 748.28m/-, but recover in the second year to post a net profit of 39.63m/-.

The bank is being established to provide financial services to the community, particularly the low-income segments of the society in a sustainable basis in Mwanza, the second biggest region economically.
With the development of market oriented systems, the creation of sustainable mechanism for provision of financial services to the communities has become a critical element for creation of genuinely enabling environment for the society and poverty reduction.
The idea to establish MCB came from various meetings held in the region by the Region Consultative Committee, Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Agriculture and Industries (TCCIA) Mwanza branch, Victoria Saccos, Mwanza Saccoss and Mwanza Regional Business Council in 2012, where 130 members founded the bank and contributed a capital of 340m/-.
