Kigali, Rwanda – This Valentine’s Day, NCBA Bank Rwanda unveiled "Impano”, a savings account designed to turn financial goals into reality.

Meaning "Gift" in Kinyarwanda, Impano Savings Account offers a high interest rate—up to 7% per annum—while giving customers a chance to win Rwf 500,000 in cash rewards.

As Rwanda advances its financial inclusion agenda, saving has become more essential than ever. Yet, many still struggle to set aside funds consistently. Impano Savings Account bridges this gap by making saving simple, rewarding, and accessible—empowering individuals and groups to build their financial security with ease.

Speaking on the launch, Maurice Toroitich, Managing Director of NCBA Bank Rwanda, highlighted the bank’s commitment to financial empowerment and inclusion through innovative banking solutions.

"At NCBA, we believe financial well-being starts with smart savings. Impano is more than just an account—it’s a tool to help Rwandans secure their future while earning tangible rewards. By offering market-leading interest rates and cash incentives, we’re making the savings journey both meaningful and rewarding.”
