The Peoples Own Savings Bank, formerly the Post Office Savings Bank, was established in 1904 as a statutory fund to mobilise savings for national development. The Bank commenced its operations through the Post Office infrastructure network. In 1965 the Post Office Savings Bank Act [Chapter 249] was promulgated providing for the administration of the Savings Bank by the Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (PTC) on an agency basis. On April 1, 2001 a new act, The People’s Own Savings Bank of Zimbabwe Act [Chapter 24:22] was promulgated establishing the bank as a corporate body to carry-on the business of a Savings Bank.
