Abstract
We study the role of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia in financial inclusion between 2010 and 2015. Using the primary and the secondary data sources, we analyzed the CBE role in financial inclusion. We find that Commercial Bank of Ethiopia plays significant role in providing no-frill account, ATM cards, mobile banking, interest free banking and internet banking services. We have evidence that CBE plays role in expanding access to financial services through expansion of branch branches 220 to 965 branches in 2010 and 2015 respectively. We find that CBE plays pivotal role in deposit inclusion through prize based deposit inclusion. Our finding shows that CBE plays vital role in reaching out sub-urban areas through bank branches.
