We were overwhelmed by the great demand on our ICS BANKS and ICS BANKS ISLAMIC solutions.” Mr. Malkawi continued “26% of our customers are based in Africa and are using our universal banking solution ICS BANKS. We are keen to grow our customer base across the Sub-Saharan region, as we are now investing and building solid partnerships in East Africa; such as Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.”
