In November 2016, the Bank of Zambia took possession of the
Intermarket Banking Corporation Zambia Limited, a commercial bank, which had become insolvent and unable to meet its financial obligations. In February 2017, the central bank announced that it would re-structure Intermarket Bank, to enable it to re-open. Subsequently, agreement was reached with the shareholders of the collapsed bank, on how the bank could be re-opened. The National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA), a depositor in the collapsed bank opted to convert its ZMW50 million (approximately US$3.5 million) into equity in the restructured institution. ==Ownership==
