Barclays Bank Tanzania today revealed its second rebranded branch as it gets ready to change its name to Absa in the near future. The bank is preparing to change its name in line with its parent company’s decision to rebrand all its operations and will change from Barclays Bank Tanzania to Absa Bank Tanzania.

Last week the bank launched its first Absa-branded branch in Tanzania - its Mikocheni Branch. Today the bank revealed its second Absa-branded branch Tanzania, which is also the first in Arusha. This completely new branch located within the newly built Ngorongoro Tourism Center, showcases the warm, vibrant red color palette of the Absa brand, with the furniture and décor reflecting the warm hues of the brand’s wide color spectrum inspired by the African continent. This state of the art, paperless branch is equipped with internet banking facilities and newly branded ATMs, all carrying the Absa logo.

“As we get ready to enter a new era in the bank’s history, you can expect to see the energy and the vibrancy of the new Absa brand taking us to new levels. From our new branches, we will embrace our ambition of becoming an independent African bank, under a new brand: Absa. As an organisation, Absa believes in bringing your possibility to life. We are here to fulfil the ambitions of our customers and communities, and we look forward to continuing to build strong partnerships to make this a reality,” said Mr. Abdi Mohamed, Managing Director of Barclays Bank Tanzania.

Even though some branches will start to look like Absa, it will continue to operate and trade as Barclays Bank Tanzania until its name officially changes. The bank has several legal and regulatory milestones to achieve before the official name change date can be announced. The bank will announce this date in due course.

On his part, the Chairman of the Barclays Board of Directors, Mr Simon Mponji, said “Recognizing the significant size of the task ahead, and in preparation to change our name, we started introducing Absa’s warm, vibrant red colour palette on some of our assets, including bank branches and ATMs, to ensure we are fully ready by the time our legal name changes.

The name change in Tanzania is part of one of the largest rebranding projects in Africa and part of a broader, multi-country rebrand programme happening at Absa Group Limited-level, scheduled to be completed by mid-2020. The bank is well on track to complete the process ahead of this deadline.”

In closing, Mr Mohamed assured clients that “All customer services will continue as before throughout the name change process, and customers will not be required to do anything during this period. Barclays Bank Tanzania will not ask any customer for additional information during this period, and all bank records will remain the same before and after the transition.”

Mwandishi Wetu, Dar es Salaam

Watanzania wamehimizwa kushiriki zoezi la kuchangia damu kwa hiari ili kukidhi mahitaji makubwa ya damu na kuokoa maisha ya wenzao pamoja na kusaidia huduma za afya nchini.

Hayo yamesemwa jana jijini Dar es Salaam na Ofisa Fedha Mkuu wa Benki ya Taifa ya Biashara (NBC) Waziri Barnabas akizungumza kwa niaba ya Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Bbenki hiyo, Theobald  Sabi wakati wa tukio la kuchangia damu kwa hiari lililondaliwa na NBC akisema kwamba huo ni utamaduni wa benki hiyo wa kuchangia damu kwa kujitolea.

Alisisitiza kwamba ni muhimu kwa watanzania kuanza kujitokeza na kujitolea damu kwa hiari ili kuendelea kuokoa maisha ya wenye mahitaji.

 "Hii ni mara ya tatu kwa benki hii na wafanyakazi wake kushiriki kwenye kampeni ya uchangiaji damu ili kuokoa maisha ya wakinamama wanaojifungua, waliopata ajali na watu wengine wenye mahitaji ya damu nchini,” aliongeza.

 Barnabas aliongeza kwamba kwamba mahitaji ya damu bado yapo juu kwenye mahospitali hasa kwenye upasuaji na bado mwamko upo chini kwa wananchi kama uchangiaji wa damu kwa hiari.

"Ni muhimu sana kwa watanzania wenzetu kuungana nasi katika shughuli ya kujitolea ya kuchangia damu ambayo inatarajiwa kumalizika kesho,” alisema.

Alisema kwamba kwenye shughuli hiyo wanatarajia kukusanya takriban chupa 100 kutoka kwa wafanyakazi wa benki hiyo na watu wengine kutoka maeneo mbalimbali ya jiji ili kupunguza mahitaji makubwa ya damu nchini na alisisitiza kuwa kampeni hiyo inapaswa kuwa endelevu kukidhi matarajio ya nchini.

Kwa upande wake, Kaimu Ofisa Rasilimali watu wa benki hiyo, Grace Mgondah alisema kwamba wanatarajia  wafanyakazi 500 kutoka kwenye matawi mbalimbali watashiriki katika zoezi hilo la siku mbili ya kujitolea damu kwa hiari.

"Hii ni sehemu ya huduma kwa jamii ambayo benki yetu ya NBC inasikia fahari kuwahudumia na ninatoa wito kwa watanzania wenzetu kujitokeza kwa wingi kuja kutuunga mkono,” alisisitiza.

Fatuma Mjungu kutoka Kitengo cha Taifa cha Damu Salama (NBTS) alisema kwamba mwaka huu wanatarajia kukusanya chupa 450,000 za damu kutoka kwenye taasisi mbalimbali na watu wanaojitolea kwa hiari.

"Mahitaji ya damu kwa sasa nchini ni chupa 520,000 lakini asilimia moja tu ya watanzania wote wakichangia damu tunaweza kukidhi mahitaji ya damu kwa taifa,” aliongeza

Mjungu pia ametoa wito kwa taasisi na makampuni nchini kuinga mkono benki hiyo ya NBC kwa kuhamasisha wafanyakazi wake na wananchi wengine kwa ujumla kujitolea damu kwa ajili ya watu wenye uhitaji.
