The introduction of this card is part of Moza’s transformation strategy, centred on modernisation, digitalisation, and a strong customer focus. It reinforces the Bank’s commitment to evolving with the times while always prioritising service quality and personalisation.

“With this launch, we reaffirm our ambition to be a modern, digital, and customer-centric bank that keeps pace with the evolving needs of the market and our clients,” highlighted João Mota, Director of Marketing, Communication and Digital Channels at Moza. “We remain committed to investing in innovative solutions, always with the client at the heart of everything we do.”

The MozaNext Signature card is now available for subscription at Moza branches nationwide, with exclusive conditions for eligible clients.

Moza Banco’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Devan Manmoandas, has advocated for the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics into financial analysis and decision-making processes across the sector. His position was presented recently in Johannesburg, South Africa, during the 8th edition of the CFO Forum—an international conference that brought together over 300 financial leaders from across Africa and beyond.

Speaking on the real challenges faced by CFOs in the digital age, Manmoandas highlighted the emergence of a “new CFO” role—one capable of interpreting data not merely as reports, but as strategic compasses. “The finance function of the future is proactive, ethical, and impact-driven,” he stated.

He further elaborated on the evolving responsibilities of the CFO, transitioning from a traditional role focused solely on performance management to that of a transformation agent—leveraging data to create value and guide strategic decisions aligned with global best practices and socio-environmental safeguards.

Moreover, the CFO emphasised that people must be placed at the centre of all strategic efforts, as they are the key resource for any meaningful organisational transformation. “Investing in people is more important than investing in any machine or technology,” he affirmed.

According to Manmoandas, it is essential for African financial leaders to recognise that the future of finance will be shaped by those who lead ethically, with a firm understanding of the value of data. “Without data, we are just another opinion. But with well-governed data, interpreted intelligently and used responsibly, we have the foundation for decisions that build a lasting legacy,” he added.

Devan Manmoandas’ participation in this symposium reaffirmed Moza Banco’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and responsible leadership in the financial sector in Mozambique and Southern Africa. The Bank takes pride in the participation of its professionals in high-level forums, viewing these platforms as opportunities to showcase the quality and excellence orientation of its staff—key drivers of the Bank’s vision both nationally and beyond borders.

By sharing knowledge and strategic insights with other African leaders, Moza’s CFO embodies one of the Bank’s core values: Winning Together, in pursuit of continental development.

Sérgio Ribeiro, Executive Committee Member, of Moza Banco, recently reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment to continue sponsoring the Fernando Leite Couto literary prize, believing that the competition has “great potential to keep alive the hopes of young dreamers dedicated to the arts and letters.”

Speaking during the awards ceremony for the seventh edition of the Fernando Leite Couto Prize, Sérgio Ribeiro acknowledged the role of the Foundation that sponsors the initiative for its ability to scrutinize and identify literary talents capable of representing the country across all global geographies.

“The Fernando Leite Couto Foundation (FFLC) is one of the arts and letters organizations that has most contributed to bringing Mozambican voices, especially young voices, to the world stage, demonstrating that in Mozambique the word is also crafted with quality and excellence, helping Mozambican narratives become lenses through which to decipher the world,” emphasized Sérgio Ribeiro.

In addition to recognizing the merit of the partnership between Moza and the Foundation, Sérgio Ribeiro took the opportunity to speak about the new phase of the Bank, in which both employees and clients become the center of the entire strategy.

“We have begun a new chapter in our history with the launch of the ‘Make It Happen 2025’ campaign, where we present a renewed vision born from the colours of our flag, carrying with it the dream of a bolder, more united, and more promising Mozambique. We launched not just an image, but a purpose: to be the trusted partner that drives ambitions and delivers solutions. And to guide this path, we have designed a new vision for the future. We want to lead with purpose, connecting people, ideas, and opportunities for the country’s progress,” revealed the ECM.

Also on the occasion, Sérgio Ribeiro and Mia Couto – President of the FFLC – posed for a photograph with the winner of the seventh edition of the Fernando Leite Couto Literary Prize, writer, teacher, and poet Zacarias Nguenha, who won the competition with the poetic work entitled “Costurar a Linguagem” (“Sewing the Language”).

Later, the laureate also had the opportunity to meet with Moza´s Executive Committee President, Manuel Soares, who, on behalf of the Bank, congratulated the young author and encouraged him to continue to “Make It Happen

Moza Banco has just launched “Faz Acontecer 2025”, the new institutional campaign that marks the start of a renewed strategic positioning phase for the brand. This move is based on a customer-centric relational model, placing the customer at the heart of all the Bank’s transformation, innovation and strategy.

The campaign represents a new cycle for Moza, clearly and visibly introducing its new Vision, Mission and Values, and reaffirming its commitment to serve better, with closeness, simplicity and quality — both internally and externally.

Alongside increased investment in digital transformation and the modernisation of channels, products and services, Moza is fostering a more human and collaborative organisational culture, promoting wellbeing, development and active engagement of employees, within a framework of joint growth.

“We have assumed the Mission to make a difference every day, contributing to the success of Mozambique, and a clear Vision: to be the best Mozambican banking experience, one that everyone feels proud to belong to,” explains the Chief Executive Officer, Manuel Soares.

More than intentions, the “Faz Acontecer 2025” campaign is grounded in concrete actions. The Bank has been implementing structural reforms, ensuring transversal alignment of the entire team — “from Rovuma to Maputo, from Zumbo to the Indian Ocean” — with the strategic objectives in place.

“We want every employee to embody our four values: Ambition, Integrity, Resilience and Winning Together — not as slogans, but as practices lived daily,” states Manuel Soares.

Moza’s four values have been translated into internal and external communication actions, with the selection of employees who symbolically represent each of them. They are now the face of the bank that positions itself as a Mozambican brand, close, human and determined.

More than a financial institution, Moza Banco thus positions itself as a movement that believes in the power of unity, trust and shared action to make Mozambique’s future happen.

The social responsibility arm of Moza Banco, Clube Moza, and Save University (UniSave) have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing a strategic partnership to enhance actions in support of youth inclusion, gender equity, and the promotion of menstrual dignity.

Under the terms of the agreement, UniSave students will benefit from training through the Accelerated Skills Development Programme, which aims to strengthen English language proficiency and other key transversal skills essential for employability and entrepreneurship.

Additionally, the memorandum includes the integration of the topic of menstrual dignity into UniSave's teacher training curriculum, ensuring that future educators are sensitive to the needs of female students and promote an inclusive, gender-aware educational approach both within and beyond the university setting.

During the MoU signing ceremony, there was also an opportunity to present commercial proposals, allowing university staff to learn about and potentially subscribe to Moza Banco's services. This initiative concluded with the official opening of UniSave’s institutional account at Moza Banco.

According to Professor Dr Catarina Nhapossa, Rector of Save University, the signed memorandum reflects the shared commitment of both institutions to driving meaningful change for the wellbeing of young people, particularly women and girls.

“By signing this Memorandum with Clube Moza, we are bridging the gap between academia and community engagement. English language training and the focus on menstrual dignity are powerful tools for social empowerment. We want our students—especially future teachers—to leave university prepared to transform the communities they will serve. This collaboration is an example of how the university can go beyond classrooms to make a positive impact on the nation,” the Rector affirmed.

Inácio Fernando, President of Clube Moza, also highlighted the strategic relevance of the initiative:

“Today we celebrate a strategic alliance that places girls at the heart of development. Clube Moza's mission is to open pathways, create opportunities, and transform realities through education and volunteerism. By joining forces with us, Save University is showing that Mozambican higher education is aligned with the contemporary challenges of inclusion, sustainability, and social justice. The integration of menstrual dignity into the university curriculum is a milestone. This partnership is more than a protocol—it is a commitment to the country’s future,” he emphasised.

Manuel Soares, Chief Executive Officer of Moza Banco, reinforced that such initiatives aim primarily to improve the lives of Mozambicans:

“They reflect our core values, especially ‘winning together,’ which is about practicing love for others, unity, and solidarity.”

These and other initiatives reaffirm Moza Banco’s continued commitment—through all its affiliates—to supporting sustainable human development and creating positive social impact, via strategic alliances with key institutions in the education, health, environment, and other sectors.
