Rawbank Unveils New Brand Identity to Drive Congo’s Transformation

KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of Congo--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rawbank, the leading bank in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has revealed its new brand identity, marking a strategic evolution to support Congolese people in building their future with boldness, trust, and proximity. More than a logo change, it signals a profound shift: a bank rooted in Congo, committed to progress and transformation.

In a world shaped by technological revolutions, climate challenges, and the aspirations of youth, Congo needs strong, resilient institutions. Since 2002, Rawbank has grown with a clear mission: not just managing money, but supporting, building, and transforming.

This new identity, the result of a strategic reflection in 2024, embodies a fresh narrative and a renewed promise: to go beyond banking. Rawbank sets a clear strategic direction—accelerating digitalization, strengthening ESG commitments, empowering women, youth, and SMEs, and innovating while staying true to its DNA of proximity and trust.

More than a logo: a new vision for the future

"Today marks an important milestone for Rawbank," stated Mustafa Rawji, CEO. "We reaffirm our ambition to be more than a bank—a transformative force for Congo and Africa. Our new identity reflects our maturity, boldness, and continued commitment to serve."

At the heart of this transformation is a new logo, combining a solid wordmark with a symbol inspired by the Congolese leopard - embodying strength, resilience, and innovation. The yellow claws represent vitality and hope, echoing Rawbank’s faith in Congo’s future.

This brand evolution is part of a broader repositioning to offer a seamless, modern banking experience across all channels—designed for every client, every need, and every ambition.

Rooted in Congo, reaching across Africa

Rooted in the heart of Congo for 23 years, with assets of USD 5 billion and over 500,000 clients across 19 provinces, Rawbank is now expanding its vision across Africa—bringing a credible, serious voice to major conversations about the future of African banking.
