Tura Neza addresses one of the biggest barriers to home ownership: the substantial upfront financial commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution is designed to finance up to 100% of the property\u2019s purchase price, with an additional 5% towards eligible acquisition costs, subject to credit approval and applicable lending conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch also featured Open Homes, (www.open homes.rw) a digital property and home-financing platform connecting prospective homeowners with verified property opportunities, developers and mortgage-financing institutions. The platform enables customers to discover properties, assess their financial readiness, undertake mortgage prequalification and begin the financing process online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prospective homeowners, including Rwandans living abroad, can begin exploring properties and submitting their financing enquiries through Open Homes (www.openhomes.rw)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing Rwanda\u2019s housing industry together<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch convened banking executives, property developers and real estate professionals to examine practical solutions to Rwanda\u2019s housing challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moderated by Babu Emile, the panel featured Charles Haba, who discussed property-market dynamics and buyer affordability; Amos Furaha, who explored housing development, supply and construction costs; and Sam Gatari, NCBA\u2019s Head of Retail Banking, who addressed mortgage accessibility and responsible financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion highlighted the importance of collaboration between developers, financial institutions and technology platforms in addressing Rwanda\u2019s housing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National projections indicate Rwanda requires approximately 150,000 new dwellings annually, while the latest NISR household survey shows that 60.6% of Kigali households live in rented accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic partnership with Masaka Views<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A highlight of the event was the signing of an MoU between NCBA and Masaka Views, a residential development in Kigali\u2019s Masaka area comprising a planned 382 housing units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership will connect prospective buyers with NCBA\u2019s home-financing solutions, demonstrating how collaboration between banks and developers can translate housing demand into ownership opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liz Haylett of Masaka Views welcomed the partnership: \u201cBuilding quality homes is only part of the solution. Buyers also need access to financing that makes ownership achievable. Our partnership with NCBA brings these elements together and creates a more practical pathway for prospective homeowners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NCBA sets ambitious home ownership agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the launch, Emmanuella Nzahabonimana, COO of NCBA Bank Rwanda, outlined the Bank\u2019s ambition to take a leading role in expanding home ownership over the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe intend to lead a deliberate drive to make home ownership more accessible to Rwandans. Tura Neza 105% is an important first step, but our ambition extends beyond a home loans product. We want to build an ecosystem that brings together developers, property opportunities, technology and financing, helping more Rwandans turn the ambition of owning a home into reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next year, NCBA plans to strengthen partnerships with property developers, expand awareness of mortgage-financing opportunities and leverage digital platforms such as Open Homes to reach prospective homeowners across Rwanda and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diaspora banking will be a key priority, with the Bank seeking to make it easier for Rwandans living abroad to identify investment properties, explore financing options and begin their home-ownership journey remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through its retail, corporate and digital banking capabilities, NCBA aims to position home ownership as a major area of growth, combining innovative financing with greater access to property information and a simpler customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rwandans interested in purchasing a home can begin their journey today through Open Homes, where they can explore property opportunities and initiate the home-financing prequalification process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
