Core Banking System (CBS) – Building Resilience

  • A robust CBS is essential to scaling our client base and meeting regulatory standards.
  • The new Temenos-based system replaces the legacy platform, providing greater reporting accuracy, audit rigour, and licence readiness.
  • Its modular design allows seamless integration with digital services and adaptation to regulatory changes, such as the move towards Islamic banking in Pakistan.

Digital Financial Services (DFS) – Driving Sustainable Impact

  • DFS streamlines operations by eliminating manual processes for staff.
  • It creates a client-friendly digital interface, making financial services more accessible and transparent.
  • By reducing fraud risks and increasing efficiency, DFS ensures both stronger protection and better service.

Rollout Approach

  • Following the successful CBS launch in Pakistan, structured rollouts are planned for Ghana and Tanzania.
  • These markets were chosen for their size and strategic importance: Ghana as a microfinance bank and Tanzania as a microfinance institution.
  • Lessons learned here will guide expansion into other key markets, including Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Rwanda.
