Moza Banco was distinguished as the "Bank of Local Content", in recognition of the impact its products and services have on communities across the country.

This election was helped by the fact that Moza is the bank that, under the government's "One district, one bank" program, has opened the most branches in rural Mozambique.

The prize was awarded by Mozambique Energy Intelligence Limitada (MEI) as part of the 1st edition of the "Enermina Awards", also known as the Local Content Awards. The initiative aims to identify, publicize and recognize actions with a constructive impact carried out by the various Local Content agents in the energy, mining, agriculture and environment sectors in Mozambique.

The award was presented recently in Maputo to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Moza Banco, Manuel Soares, by representatives of the awarding body, with the testimony of dozens of the bank's employees and countless other guests.

The Director of MEI, Momade Mucanheia, offered words of encouragement to Moza Banco on the occasion, calling for the permanent maintenance of the quality of its products and services and its commitment to expanding its network.

"With more than 1600 points accounted for in its impact on social and industrial responsibility actions, Moza has shown commitment and interest in supporting constructive actions at the service of the community. We only appeal to it to maintain this spirit and inspire other institutions," added Momade Mucanheia.

Moza Banco's CEO, for his part, said that the credit goes to all employees. "It is only through the individual and collective dedication of all our employees that we continue to grow and reaffirm our presence in the market as a genuinely Mozambican bank. We want our DNA to be mirrored in our desire to be ever closer to the communities and to each Mozambican family. Overall, we always want to Make It Happen," he said.

Mozambique Energy Intelligence's recognition catalyzes Moza's desire to continue to grow and reach more and more of the Mozambican population, thus being the main driver of the financial inclusion process in Mozambique.
