Financial House S.A modernises core banking infrastructure with SBS

By Aarav Garg

Financial House S.A has modernised its core banking infrastructure with SBS’s Core Amplitude platform, as the Cameroonian firm looks to expand its digital services and improve operational agility.

The move is intended to support Financial House S.A’s growth strategy across retail customers, SMEs and financial inclusion-focused segments. By upgrading its core banking environment, the company is aiming to deliver a more seamless and personalised customer experience while strengthening the systems that support accounts, payments, lending and operations.

The new platform is also expected to support a more open technology model. According to the company, the deployment will provide access to more than 350 APIs, enabling Financial House S.A to develop new digital use cases and work more closely with partners across its ecosystem.

Automation is another key part of the transformation. The bank expects the system to reduce manual processing and improve operational performance across its core banking workflows, reflecting a wider trend among financial institutions in emerging markets to replace legacy infrastructure with more flexible, scalable platforms.

The modernisation also positions Financial House S.A to respond more effectively to regulatory requirements and changing distribution models. As competition increases across African banking markets, institutions are investing more heavily in platforms that can support digital growth without sacrificing compliance or resilience.

The deployment highlights how core banking modernisation remains central to FinTech development in markets where financial inclusion, digital access and infrastructure flexibility are becoming increasingly important.
