Awards for Excellence national winners 2026: DR Congo

Best bank: Rawbank

Rawbank’s broader banking offering prioritises scale in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s core economic sectors alongside an ecosystem banking model.

The extractive industries are the backbone of the bank’s operations, with mining-related exposure accounting for more than 30% of its total loan portfolio. In 2025, Rawbank was a lead participant in a $400 million syndication for phase two of the Kamoa–Kakula Copper Complex, a globally significant high-grade copper asset.

In terms of ecosystem enablement, Rawbank has been shifting from traditional lending towards a wider asset-enablement model, including leasing, sector-specific desks and digital interoperability to support a broader range of customer needs.
