Teachers in the Kasaï region of the Democratic Republic of Congo have escalated their complaints regarding unpaid salaries following their transfer from Finca Bank to Advance Bank.
In a statement issued on July 28, 2026, the educators denounced persistent payment delays, signaling deepening friction between the financial institution and its workforce.
The dispute highlights ongoing liquidity and operational challenges within the Congolese banking sector.
The teachers, who were previously employed by Finca Bank, argue that the transition to Advance Bank has not resolved their compensation issues.
Instead, they report that wage payments remain outstanding, prompting public criticism and raising concerns about the bank's ability to manage its human resources obligations.
This development adds to a broader pattern of labor unrest in the region.
