KAMPALA – Housing Finance Bank, a full-service commercial bank in Uganda will deploy Oracle Banking suite, leveraging next-generation banking technology to enhance digital core capabilities and deliver convenient service to customers. Drawing on JMR’s expertise in Oracle banking suite and industry leading Oracle FLEXCUBE technology, the bank plans to accelerate digital initiatives, deliver faster time to market for new customer solutions, and achieve an overall improvement in service delivery.
“Speed of service is critical to us,” said Michael K Mugabi, Housing Finance Bank’s Managing Director. “The Oracle Banking suite with its microservices, API-ready platform, and short implementation time, fit perfectly into our technology roadmap and growth strategy. This new platform integrated with multiple existing systems will offer a full stack of banking capabilities that will help Housing Finance Bank enhance the Customer experience, drive Performance improvement, and grow the Bank’s overall Business.”
Housing Finance Bank will be implementing Oracle Banking Payments, Oracle FLEXCUBE, and Oracle Banking APIs from the Oracle Banking suite along with an Enterprise Service Bus Middleware. JMR Infotech will be the prime integrator working with the Bank to implement the new platform including migration of apps, offerings and customers from the current system.
With this transformation, Housing Finance Bank will be able to scale quickly and offer personalized services, and also process transactions more judiciously.
