Rawbank chooses SBS Digital Banking Suite to Accelerate its Digital Services in Central Africa

Paris, October 20th — As part of its digital transformation strategy, Rawbank, which already relies on SBS Core Amplitude, a modular and secure core banking solution that enables financial institutions to manage all their operations on a unified, scalable foundation, is taking a new strategic step by adopting the SBS Digital Banking Suite to accelerate the rollout of its digital banking services to customers.

The SBS Digital Banking Suite radically simplifies everyday life for end consumers by streamlining their digital journeys from end to end.

Thanks to this agile technology, Rawbank’s customers will benefit from more intuitive mobile and web applications, greater autonomy in managing their accounts remotely, and a drastic reduction in waiting times, particularly for online account opening (digital onboarding) and for card and payment management.

Flexible and scalable, the platform guarantees users a modern, stable quality of service built on the best international standards.

“Technological innovation is a key lever of our development strategy. With the SBS Digital Banking Suite, we are strengthening our ability to offer our customers ever simpler, more accessible and higher-performing services. This platform will allow us to speed up the launch of new features, deliver an enriched digital experience, and pursue our ambition of making financial services accessible to as many people as possible in the Democratic Republic of Congo,” said Arvind Kumar, CIO at Rawbank.

This project reflects Rawbank’s determination to continuously modernize its digital ecosystem in order to anticipate new usage patterns, while consolidating its position as the leading bank for innovation and digital financial services in the DRC.

“With Rawbank, we are entering a new phase: one where a high-performing core banking foundation meets a digital layer designed for today. It is precisely this combination that allows a bank to establish itself as the benchmark in digital banking in Central Africa, drawing on both a detailed understanding of the local market and world-class technological capabilities,” said Hassan Nasser, Deputy General Manager, Digital Engagement at SBS.

By adopting the SBS Digital Banking Suite, Rawbank confirms its long-standing commitment to financial inclusion.

This technological evolution will translate concretely for individuals, entrepreneurs and SMEs across the country into easier access to modern payment solutions and a much richer everyday mobile banking experience.
