The new branch, located in Cyugamo Village, Gako Cell, Masaka Sector of Kicukiro District, officially opened on June 30, 2025.
It launched with a team of five staff members, including officers responsible for regular savings and withdrawals, loan and project analysis, as well as a branch manager overseeing operations.
The CEO of Duterimbere IMF PLC, Alphonse Ngabonziza, stated that the branch was opened in response to requests from residents of the area, who expressed challenges in accessing services from the city center, which previously housed the nearest branches.
'This is a rapidly developing area, yet it is evident that financial institutions here are still limited. That's why we brought our services closer to the local population to help them continue advancing economically.'
Jeannette Mukamana, a client of Duterimbere IMF PLC, shared that she used to face challenges accessing the institution's services because it required her to travel to downtown Kigali, which negatively affected her business operations.
At times, when she urgently needed funds, she had to set aside an entire day just to reach another branch, costing her valuable time.
She said: 'I started out only selling gas, but after receiving a loan from Duterimbere IMF PLC, I have now expanded my business to include a hardware shop as well. Previously, I had to go to the city center for their services, but now that the branch is closer to me, it will make my business much easier.'
Duterimbere Duterimbere IMF PLC is a microfinance institution that specializes in providing financial services to women, offering them low-interest loans that are disbursed in a short period of just seven days.
