Mungure further said “our mission at NMB has always been to create innovative products and services that tackle various financial challenges in the country.

“NMB Wakala agents play a vital role in providing banking services contributing to the country’s economy and therefore as Tanzania’s largest bank it is essential to create an environment that works in their favour and help them meet the market demand and through that, we are contributing to accelerating financial inclusion in the country.”
