NSIA Group taps SBS platform to drive Digital Transformation across Africa

By Puja Sharma

The NSIA Group, a major player in banking and insurance across the African continent, has entered into a strategic agreement with SBS for its banking subsidiaries to deploy the SBP Core Amplitude solution.

SBP Core Amplitude is a new-generation, robust, and highly scalable banking solution that will enable NSIA to:

• Strengthen regulatory compliance, particularly in the WAEMU and CEMAC regions
• Accelerate the digitalisation of key processes and enhance customer experience
• Harmonise information systems to optimise operations, improve service quality, and reduce costs

“This initiative fully aligns with the NSIA Group’s ambition to offer high-quality, innovative banking solutions tailored to the needs of as many people as possible across the African continent, while providing harmonised services to our customers and partners throughout our network in the five countries where we operate,” said Léonce Yacé, CEO of NSIA’s Banking Division. Thanks to its open architecture, APIs, and advanced integration capabilities, SBP Core Amplitude facilitates interoperability with FinTechs and external partners, supporting the bank’s continuous modernisation.

According to IBS Intelligence in July this year, SBS was selected by National Savings and Investments (NS&I) to deliver a next-generation, cloud-native core banking platform, replacing its legacy system with SBP Digital Core as part of a large-scale digital transformation impacting over 24 million UK savers.

“We are proud to support NSIA in this major transformation. SBP Core Amplitude is designed to meet the challenges faced by African banks: agility, compliance, and innovation. This partnership reflects our commitment to providing solutions that strengthen our clients’ growth and competitiveness,” added Camil Bennani Smires, General Manager, SBP Core Amplitude at SBS.
