About Us

The establishment of Odotobri Rural Bank Limited was a response by the Government to Odotobri Cocoa Farmers’ appeal to help alleviate their plight at a time when they had to travel long distances of over 20km, most often on foot to cash their Akuafo Cheques at Ghana Commercial Banks and Agricultural Development Banks in Bekwai, Obuasi and Kumasi as the case may be.

Odotobri Rural Bank Ltd. was incorporated by shares in March 29, 1982 with registration number 20476 under the Companies Code of 1963(Act 179). The Bank was issued with a license to commence Banking Operations on September 7, 1982 under the Banking Act 1970 (Act 339). The bank started actual operations to the public on September 16, 1983.
