Guaranty Trust Bank (East Africa), also known as GT Bank (East Africa), formerly known as Fina Bank Group, is a financial services organization in East Africa. The Group's headquarters are located in Nairobi, Kenya, with subsidiaries in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. ==History== The institution began operations as a non-banking financial company, in 1986. In 1991 it was acquired by private investors, who converted it into a commercial bank, in 1995, following the acquisition of a banking license from the Central Bank of Kenya, the country's banking regulator. The bank opened its doors as a fully fledged commercial bank in 1996. In 2004, Fina Bank acquired BACAR, a privately owned bank, that had been seized due to managerial reasons, by the National Bank of Rwanda, Rwanda's banking regulator. In 2005, the bank changed its business strategy and re-launched Fina Bank as a banking institution that focuses on serving small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Between 2005 and 2008, the bank re-organized its operations in Rwanda and continued branch expansion in Kenya. In 2008, Fina Bank re-organized its operations in Rwanda and opened up business in Uganda with two brand new branches.〔(The History of Fina Bank Group )〕 In July 2013, the Nigerian lender Guaranty Trust Bank, acquired 70% shareholding in Fina Bank Group for a cash infusion of US$100 million.〔(Guaranty Trust Bank of Nigeria Acquires 70% Stake In Kenya's Fina Bank Group )〕 In January 2014, the member companies of Fina Bank Group rebranded as subsidiaries of Guaranty Trust Bank.〔( GT Bank Concludes Acquisition of Fina Bank Group )〕 In February 2014, Fina Bank Group rebranded to Guaranty Trust Bank (East Africa).〔( Fina Bank Rebrands Following Buyout By GT Bank )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guaranty Trust Bank (East Africa)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
