Our Partnership Highlights
Reducing compliance processing to seconds
We modernised Absa’s Financial Crime and Compliance platforms, transforming a manual process into an automated workflow that completes in under 30 seconds.
Decommissioning 4 legacy systems
An API-driven payment platform was built to support global transactions, decommissioning 4 legacy payment systems and improving transaction success rates.
Resolving payment issues faster
A centralised platform was developed to consolidate payment data into a single, standardised view, enabling support teams to identify and resolve issues more efficiently.
Centralised loan pricing engine
Our team helped redevelop and centralise corporate loan pricing tools into a single, web-based platform, enabling improved cross-selling across product houses.
Real-time debit order authentication
We worked on Absa's DebiCheck solution through the development of microservices enabling real-time debit order authentication, reducing fraud and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Enabling customer onboarding across products
A unified middle layer simplified integrations across personal banking products, streamlining account creation, compliance checks, fraud screening and customer migration into a single flow.
Driving behaviour through personalised experiences
Our team contributed to The Dreams platform, developed to enable customers to save towards specific goals by leveraging behavioural science and rule-based automation.
