Addis International Bank Unveils New Identity as “Addis Bank,”













Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – In a significant milestone marking its evolution and ambitions for the future, Addis International Bank has officially rebranded as “Addis Bank”, unveiling a new name, logo, and corporate motto: “Trusted for Your Success.” The announcement was made during a formal launch event held in Addis Ababa this evening, attended by senior executives, stakeholders, and members of the financial community.

Having served Ethiopia’s banking sector for the past 15 years under the name Addis International Bank, the institution’s rebranding represents more than a cosmetic change—it is a strategic repositioning intended to reflect the bank’s commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and national growth. The simplified name, “Addis Bank,” aims to enhance brand recognition, resonate more closely with local identity, and signal a more streamlined, customer-focused approach.

Speaking at the launch, CEO Ato Hailu Alemu emphasized the inclusive philosophy behind the bank’s transformation. “This rebranding is not just a change of name; it is a renewed promise to our customers,” he said. “Addis Bank stands for accessible, inclusive, and technologically advanced banking that serves all segments of society—from rural entrepreneurs to urban professionals.”

The CEO also highlighted that the new identity is aligned with the bank’s broader strategic goals, including enhancing digital banking capabilities, expanding its national footprint, and offering more agile and efficient financial services.

With the Ethiopian banking landscape becoming increasingly competitive and technology-driven, Addis Bank’s rebranding underscores its intent to be at the forefront of financial innovation. The institution is investing in cutting-edge digital platforms, expanding its product portfolio, and strengthening customer engagement strategies to meet evolving market demands.

As part of its future vision, Addis Bank is expected to play a pivotal role in advancing financial inclusion and supporting Ethiopia’s economic development. By delivering reliable, secure, and user-friendly services, the bank aims to foster greater trust and empower individuals and businesses to achieve long-term financial success.

The refreshed branding—anchored by the new motto “Trusted for Your Success”—positions Addis Bank as a modern, forward-looking institution ready to meet the needs of a dynamic and diverse customer base in Ethiopia and beyond.
