In a landmark move to elevate premium banking in Tanzania, Exim Bank has officially launched its Elite Banking service alongside the Mastercard World Card Series. The unveiling took place at a black-tie event at Serena Hotel in Dar es Salaam, attended by distinguished clients, board members, and strategic partners. The initiative marks a bold shift toward personalized, privilege-rich financial services tailored for high-net-worth individuals.
Exclusivity Redefined
At the heart of the launch was a new philosophy: Exclusivity Redefined. This concept moves beyond traditional status-based banking to embrace relevance, personalization, and meaningful access.
1. Elite Banking is designed to anticipate client needs and exceed expectations through curated experiences
2. The service includes private branch lounges, bespoke financial solutions, and lifestyle privileges
3. Clients gain access to international airport lounges via Mastercard DragonPass, luxury concierge services, and tailored travel benefits
Exim Bank CEO Jaffari Matundu emphasized that Elite Banking is more than a product—it’s a commitment to putting valued clients at the center of every decision. The initiative builds on the foundation of Exim’s Preferred Banking service launched in 2016, now elevated to offer deeper personalization and global reach.
Mastercard World Card Suite
A highlight of the evening was the introduction of the Mastercard World Card Suite, developed in partnership with Mastercard. This suite includes three premium cards:
- Mastercard World Debit Card (TZS)
- Mastercard World Debit Card (USD)
- Mastercard World Credit Card
These cards unlock a world of privileges for Elite Banking clients:
- Unlimited access to global airport lounges
- Dedicated luxury travel and concierge services
- Comprehensive travel insurance covering accidents, emergency medical evacuation, and repatriation
- Advanced fraud protection and global purchase security
- Exclusive rewards for shopping, dining, entertainment, and travel
- Contactless payment technology for seamless transactions
Client-Centric Innovation
Andrew Lyimo, Head of Retail Banking at Exim Bank, introduced the Elite Banking proposition and the dedicated relationship management team behind it. He noted that the service responds directly to the evolving needs of premium clientele:
- Personalized financial planning and wealth management
- Priority service at branches and digital platforms
- Invitations to exclusive events and networking opportunities
- Tailored solutions for international banking and cross-border transactions
The launch event also showcased Exim Bank’s commitment to innovation, with digital integration and mobile-first services forming a core part of the Elite Banking experience.
Market Impact and Strategic Positioning
With this rollout, Exim Bank positions itself as a leader in premium banking across East Africa. The Elite Banking and Mastercard World Series are expected to:
- Strengthen client loyalty and retention among high-value customers
- Attract new clientele seeking elevated banking experiences
- Enhance Exim’s brand as a forward-thinking, customer-first institution
The bank’s move aligns with global trends in financial personalization, where clients expect more than transactional services—they seek relationships, relevance, and recognition.
Looking Ahead
Exim Bank’s Elite Banking launch signals a new era in Tanzanian finance, where luxury meets utility and personalization drives loyalty. As the bank continues to innovate, its premium clients can expect a future where banking is not just a service, but a lifestyle.
