KBZ (Kanbawza) Bank was initially established on 1st of July 1994 in Taunggyi, a small town in Southern Shan State. Our earlier operations mainly catered the local population in Taunggyi. In late 1999, our present Chairman, U Aung Ko Win, took over the management and reformed the organisation into one of the biggest private banks in Myanmar. Since January 3rd 2000, under the guidance of our Chairman, the KBZ network has expanded to 39 branches all over Myanmar with a highly regarded reputation.

Our operations and procedures meet the standards set out in the Financial Institution of Myanmar Law (1990) imposed by the Myanmar Central Bank.
