“The net profit position of the bank demonstrates an upward growth.
“The profit is projected to reach sh4.5b by the end of the year,†Kassami said at the re-branding ceremony held at the bank’s premises in Kampala.

Kassami commended the Libyan and Ugandan governments for their support to the bank.
Tropical Bank is owned by the two governments.

He said the facility was available for use “as and when need arises.â€
Kassami said the new corporate identity, Tropical Bank, “comes with a guarantee of more professionalism and efficiency in service delivery to our customers.â€
Mohamed Ali Wahra, the managing director, said the growth had been a result of dynamic and innovative leadership and service.
