On 25th March 2026, University of Technology and Arts of Byumba (UTAB) and I&M Bank Rwanda Plc have entered into a transformative partnership aimed at empowering education, innovation, and financial inclusion in Rwanda.
The shared vision of this collaboration is to create a seamless financial ecosystem that supports students, staff, and institutional growth. Through advanced digital banking solutions like I-Click, UTAB gains 24/7 access to secure, efficient, and flexible financial services from salary processing and bulk payments to real-time reporting and cross-border transactions.
This partnership goes beyond banking. It introduces tailored financial products for UTAB staff, including affordable housing loans, personal financing, and vehicle loans, all designed to improve quality of life and financial stability.
For UTAB’s broader ecosystem schools, hospitality services, and affiliated institutions, I&M Bank provides innovative financing solutions such as EduFinance, Kataza Program loans, and construction financing to drive expansion and impact.
Importantly, this collaboration invests in the future. Through internship opportunities, career pathways, and joint research initiatives, students gain real-world exposure in banking, finance, and business bridging the gap between education and industry.
Together, UTAB and I&M Bank Rwanda are not just building a banking relationship they are shaping a future of opportunity, innovation, and sustainable development for Rwanda’s next generation.
