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.
