Purpose-built

Built for South Africa's co-operative financial sector

myCBI is a purpose-built digital banking platform designed specifically for South African Co-operative Banking Institutions (CBIs). It was developed to meet the legal, operational and regulatory realities of co-operative banking, rather than adapting systems built for commercial banks, so institutions operate on technology that reflects their own environment, obligations and growth needs.
