Our Pan-African Cash Management Payments and Billers Product capability, Trade Management Online platform and Real-time Clearing API innovations enable us to achieve this accolade. Our in-depth understanding of the African continent, its regulatory framework, transactional landscape, payment and settlement infrastructure has enabled us to tailor cash management solutions to optimise clients' business operations. Our Transactional Banking Cash Management value propositions are supported by secure and bespoke online and integrated Host and Online Banking Channels. The Billers and Float Management solutions that we offer, provide simple, secure and cost-effective collections and float purchase capabilities, which give clients full control of their receivables and cashflow.
