The KBZ Group of Companies has a long history of business establishment since 1995. It all started with rubies, jade and precious metal mining under the name of Shan Yoma, Nilar Yoma and Jain-Phaw-Aung rubies, jade and precious metal mining  companies. Most of the precious metal mines are lo­ cated in Mineshu, Mogoke, Phakhant, and Kanti townships in the eastern and northern reaches of the country. The legally earned monetary assets were then invested in what  is now publicly known as Kanbawza Bank. Moreover, there are many other diversified businesses under our group.

The official name of the Company is designated as IKBZ Insurance Company. It is a sister concern of the Kanbawza Group of Companies catering solely for their insurance business. The IKBZ Insurance Company is established under the umbrella of the KBZ Group of Companies.
