Oromia Bank External Vacancy Announcement: Fresh Graduate Program 2026

About Oromia Bank:
Oromia Bank, known as “People’s Bank,” is a private commercial bank that serves customers through a wide network of branches across Oromia and several other regions of Ethiopia. The bank has now published three external vacancy announcements, under reference numbers EVAC/033/2026, EVAC/034/2026, and EVAC/028/2026, inviting qualified and competent fresh graduates to apply for the position of Associate Branch Sales and Customer Service Officer. Each announcement is managed by a different district office, namely Jimma, Adama, and Hawassa, and each covers branches in different regions, from Oromia and the South West to Gambella, Sidama, and Somali. No work experience is required, which makes this a strong entry point into banking for 2026 graduates in accounting, management, marketing, economics, and related fields. Employment is permanent after satisfactory completion of the probation period, and pay follows the bank’s salary and benefit policy. Because each district has its own GPA cut-off, age limit, language rule, and registration place, read the section for your preferred district carefully before you travel. Qualified female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
