Financial Services Platform
Digital transformation for a leading African bank
Financial Services
18 months
Legacy systems limited customer experience and operational efficiency.
The bank was operating on a decades-old core banking system that couldn't keep pace with the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Customers faced long wait times, limited self-service options, and a fragmented experience across channels. Internally, manual processes created bottlenecks, and the lack of real-time data made it difficult to personalize offerings or respond to market changes.
Designed and built a modern digital banking platform with mobile-first experience.
Our team partnered with the bank's leadership to design a greenfield digital banking platform from the ground up. We adopted a mobile-first approach, building a cross-platform application using React Native for the front-end and a microservices architecture on the back-end. The platform was rolled out in phases, starting with core banking features, then expanding to include savings, loans, investments, and financial literacy content. We also implemented an AI-powered customer support chatbot and real-time analytics dashboard.
2M+ users onboarded in 18 months. Customer satisfaction up 45%.
The platform exceeded adoption targets within the first year. Customer acquisition cost dropped by 60% as word-of-mouth referrals drove organic growth. The bank saw a 45% improvement in customer satisfaction scores and a 30% increase in digital transaction volume. Operational costs were reduced by 25% through automation of manual processes. The platform now serves as the bank's primary customer engagement channel.
