In 1942, the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) was established as a state financial institution. Then known as the "State Bank of Ethiopia," it took on the functions of both a commercial and a central bank. It had 21 branches, and it introduced savings and new currency. In 1963, the bank changed its name to the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia and was given solely the responsibilities of a commercial bank. For the past 80 years, CBE has been a well-known bank in Ethiopia and a vital source of funding for the country's development initiatives.
CBE is a pioneering bank in introducing modern banking services and it is surveyor of banking development in Ethiopia. It is also the first bank to introduce Western Union Money Transfer Services in the country, and currently working with more than twenty money transfer agents.
CBE is a reputable and largest commercial bank in Ethiopia and significantly contributes to the country's development by utilizing advanced technologies and systems for modern banking services targeting various sectors. It serves individual depositors, micro, small and medium-sized businesses, and private and public investment projects, significantly impacting the country's economy mobilizing savings for investment.
CBE’s credit distribution history primarily has catered to large corporate and public customers, with lower shares of MSMEs and individual customers. Due to this, it has decided to improve the credit facilities provided to MSMEs and individual customers, which might help alleviate their financial constraints. To strengthen this, it has adopted a new business model which called as “Customer Centric”, to provide customer tailored banking services. Currently, it has products and services designed to address the demands of all segments of societies in a better way.

• Daily Activities (eg. deposits, home loans repayment
enquiries) are recorded in source (transaction) systems
• A continuous (historical) transaction pattern/profile for each
customer is kept in a database
• Queries “trawl” this database every night to search for any
unusual changes (which is of interest to us)
• Any significant changes in a customers transaction pattern is
detected (eg. a very large deposit today relative to the
average over the previous six months). This is an “event”.
• Best events (prioritised) are sent daily (every morning) to
bankers for action managed by Relationship Optimiser)

rates) are selected and sent to bankers by
Relationship Optimiser for action.

The “cube”, a concept developed at the National, is now used in every Database CRM
campaign. The performance of each cell is the basis of selection for the “next round”.
Over time the best combination of channel, offer and target market is identified and future
campaigns will use only these cells. With this process the “cube” effectively acts as a
continuous improvement process.

CRM Benefits
A fully implemented CRM solution will give the National the ability to maximise
the life time value of its customers. It coordinates all customer access
channels together to produce products and services that are worth far more
than the sum of their parts.
This is achieved by:
Being able to easily cross sell products and services to customers that those
products are relevant to.
Providing a single, consistent view of the customer across the enterprise.
Enabling National staff to see all communications, contact and interaction history
across all channels with the bank.
The integration of front end systems to a single/ fewer front ends for users.
Providing a consistent message, brand and experience to customers across all
channels.
Enabling better understanding of customers hence better retention rates.
Reducing marketing costs by only targeting those customers with a propensity to
buy.
