Rubikon Goes Live at Efatha Bank in Tanzania

Efatha Bank in Tanzania has gone live on the Rubikon Banking System! The bank chose Rubikon in June 2009, following a rigorous selection process. One of the bank's key objectives was to complete the project in 2 months in order to start taking advantage of the benefits of Rubikon. Neptune's project team led by Priscillah Kivihya arrived onsite on the 13th of July and working intensively with a committed team from the bank's side, they completed the project on the 17th of August, a record 5 weeks and 3 weeks earlier than the bank had hoped for. Efatha Bank's operations in Dar es Salaam are off to a great start and with confidence bolstered, the bank intends to expedite the extension of its branch network across the entire country.

“We are extremely proud of our achievement in Efatha Bank, once again Neptune has raised the bar in the world of banking solution”, quoted Mr Chibuzo Ene, Regional Director for Eastern Africa, Neptune Software plc.

Mr Gothalm Mbele, Managing Director of the bank quoted “Efatha Bank’s relationship with Neptune Software plc as a group started early 2009 when Efatha Bank was evaluating various core banking systems for its establishment and later found that Rubikon Banking System was the best of the elite and contemporary banking systems and was an excellent fit for the envisaged Efatha Bank operations. The bank went live with the Rubikon system on 17th August, 2009 with very high joy and excitement given the good and timely implementation program experienced.”
