ARTEL�s Headquarter is located in Kigali, Airport Road, opposite Chez Lando Hotel. Its branch offices are located in Kayonza in the Eastern Province, Huye in the Southern Province, Musanze in the Northern Province, and Nyamasheke and Kibuye both in the Western Province.
Products & Services :

ARTEL in 2008 continued to build better products and services, thus improving on their achievements of 2007. In 2008 the firm opened offices in all 4 provinces, therefore getting closeer to the rural community.
