Dashen Bank coined its name from the highest peak in the Country, mount Dashen, and aspires to be unparalleled in banking. "Ras Dashen" is the highest mountain of Ethiopia. It is also the habitat of rare wild animals; the Wali Ibex, the Gelada Baboon, and the Lammergeyer - the beautiful bone breaker eagle. These unique characteristics of the mountain coincided with the interest of the founders of the Bank and prompted them to adopt this great name and epitomize their aspiration. Rightly, reaching the top of banking business in dynamic and competitive business environment symbolized the highest peak, while the unique and efficient services the bank caters for the public through state -of-the-art computer technology and carefully selected and trained man-power equated with the rare wild animals. Today, indeed, reliability, efficiency and modernity are the hallmark and the bank's distinguishing features which make them synonymous with Dashen Bank as much as the rare animals are synonymous with Ras-Dashen Mountain.
