[edit] History
Equatorial began in 1983 as a finance company and became a commercial bank in 1995. It grew its consumer banking operations with the development of credit cards, internet banking, an ATM network. In the beginning, their niche market was high networth individuals and SMEs. In March 2010, ECB merged with Southern Credit Bank, a financial services provider with emphasis on corporate clients. The new entity retained the Equatorial Commercial Bank name.[3]
