Our History
Tottengram Financial Services was issued with a trading license by the RBZ in August 2011, and commenced operations the same month of the same year. Operations started with just one branch open to the public. The sole business focal area was money lending. After embarking on a growth trajectory, the company grew in leaps and bounds, and now has 38 branches countrywide, anchored by an intricate network of satellite branches. This has enabled the company to achieve broader reach to previously underserviced rural areas.
Since its inception, Tottengram has mainstreamed gender diversity both at the higher and the lower staffing levels, using a 60% to 40% recruitment ratio for women and men respectively.
