This achievement reinforces NCBA's position as a leading bank in electric vehicle financing in Rwanda, breaking down barriers to EV ownership while accelerating the country's transition to a greener, low-carbon economy.

The milestone was celebrated on July 2, 2026, during the handover of an additional 15 electric vehicles to customers. It marks another step forward in a partnership that is making sustainable mobility more accessible by combining innovative financing solutions with reliable electric vehicle technology.

Through this partnership, NCBA Bank Rwanda provides flexible financing that allows customers to purchase brand-new electric vehicles and repay the loan over a period of up to five years. Customers also benefit from comprehensive insurance and a five-year warranty, providing peace of mind while significantly reducing the total cost of vehicle ownership.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, Samuel Nkubito, Head of Commercial at NCBA Bank Rwanda, said the initiative aligns with the bank's commitment to supporting sustainable economic growth while providing practical financial solutions that improve customers' lives.

"Electric vehicles are not only environmentally friendly, but they also make strong economic sense," he said. "They enable customers to reduce their operating costs significantly compared to conventional fuel-powered vehicles. The savings they make can be redirected towards growing their businesses, supporting their families and improving their financial wellbeing."

The impact of the programme is already being felt by customers. Olivier Kamali, a professional driver who returned to purchase his second electric vehicle through NCBA financing, said owning an EV had transformed his business.

"I had always dreamed of owning a new vehicle after spending years dealing with the maintenance costs of older cars," he said. "Since acquiring my first electric vehicle through NCBA in 2025, I have been able to save substantially on operating expenses. Those savings have enabled me to repay my loan, support my family, grow my income and even purchase a second vehicle."

Longtai Group's Commercial Manager, François Régis Irareba, noted that one of the biggest concerns customers initially had about electric vehicles was access to after-sales support. He explained that Longtai has invested in genuine spare parts, a fully equipped service centre and trained technicians to ensure customers receive reliable maintenance and repair services whenever needed.

Beyond supporting individual customers, the partnership contributes directly to Rwanda's national agenda of promoting clean transportation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Every electric vehicle delivered represents another step towards a more sustainable transport system, lower operating costs for motorists and a cleaner environment for future generations.

As the number of customers embracing electric mobility continues to grow, NCBA Bank Rwanda says it remains committed to expanding access to innovative green financing solutions. According to the lender, surpassing the milestone of 100 financed electric vehicles is more than a business achievement, it demonstrates how strategic partnerships can create meaningful economic opportunities, empower customers and support Rwanda's journey towards a more sustainable future.
