Rand Merchant Bank Management
RMB is a values-driven organisation where human development is far greater than just results. As a respected talent brand, we create an environment where exceptional people can thrive and embrace our owner-manager culture to deliver on Traditional values. Innovative ideas.
At RMB we equate exceptional performance with exceptional people who buy into the RMB principles; the RMB leadership brand, and RMB values. Our culture is the sum of the values and rituals that gives purpose to our lives and every decision we make. The end result is that RMB is a great place to come to work to every day; a place where people are inspired to go the extra mile, a place where everyone feels that they can make a difference to our clients, our company and the community.
Our ability to think differently, our collaborative spirit, our client-centric solutions and our belief that great minds don’t always have to think alike, is what sets us apart.PROFILE
