History

Indebank was established in 1972. In the beginning, the institution was a development bank. In 2001, Indebank transformed into a commercial bank following the issuance of a commercial banking license. In June 2010, TransAfrica Holdings Limited, a private equity firm based in Mauritius divested its 41.38% shareholding in Indebank. That ownership interest was acquired by the Government of Malawi at an undisclosed sales price. The government has indicated its desire to sell its interest in Indebank at an IPO on the Malawi Stock Exchange in the future.[4]
