The Bank announced that once it has completed the handover process and any necessary construction work, it will use some of the sites to open branches and rent the others out as a means of generating income. The Bank also previously completed a similar transaction of 13 million Br for a unit in the Addisu Gebeya area. It is now using the site as a branch office where it also houses a data centre. It now owns seven housing units. Debub Global Bank registered 292 million Br in profit over the last fiscal year and currently employs over 1,800 people.
