About us
What makes us a particularly interesting company is not that we are owned by Capricorn Group but that we are the first green field operation in the history of the diversified Capricorn Group of companies. Following the acquisition of a controlling stake of 68.7% in Capricorn Investment Holdings Botswana Limited which in turn holds 100% of the share capital in Bank Gaborone, the bank is now a member of the Capricorn Group. Capricorn Group is a diversified Namibian financial services group with interests in banking, asset management and insurance. The Group is listed on the Namibian Stock Exchange.
At inception, the aim was to create a financially independent bank for Batswana, in Botswana. Bank Gaborone has been providing retail banking services in Botswana since 2006 with our first branch on Pilane Road, Main Mall, Gaborone. Bank Gaborone operates through 9 retail banking branches and 12 BG Finance unsecured lending offices across the country and still growing.
Purpose Vision & Values
Our drive towards this aspiration is anchored in three fundamental beliefs that form the basis of our shared culture, The Capricorn Way.

Diversity ignites quantum leaps – when people with their different perspectives come together, these multiple perspectives can make something powerful happen and ignite positive change.

The Capricorn Way
We realise our purpose by making deliberate strategic choices and by working according to The Capricorn Way.
The Capricorn Way directs us towards positive change and is underpinned by three beliefs:
