One foundation, four layers

Integrate once. Launch every channel on top.

Start with the integration layer, add the channels your customers ask for, then extend into governance and core banking. Every product runs on the same SCAPI foundation.

Integration layer
Start here

SCAPI ESB and API Gateway

Replace fragile point-to-point links with one secure integration layer. Connect core systems, payment rails, mobile money and fintech partners in weeks, not quarters.

SCAPI Central

One console to see, secure and govern every API: traffic, partners, keys and service health, so IT and risk teams see the same picture.

Channels layer

Self Service Portals

Online banking, insurance and investor portals that take statements, claims, transfers and requests out of the branch queue and into the customer's hands.

Pochi Wallet

A white-label mobile wallet for lending, bill payments and transfers, built to reach mobile-first and underbanked customers under your own brand.

Governance and whistleblowing
New

Whistle360

A secure, anonymous reporting channel and case management platform under your own brand. Staff, customers and suppliers speak up by web, mobile, USSD or SMS, and your case team investigates and replies without ever learning who they are.

  • No IP addresses, device details or tracking cookies stored
  • Anonymous two-way messaging using a private case key
  • Case deadlines, SLA alerts and conflict-of-interest routing
  • Board and regulator reports, designed around ISO 37002
  • Group oversight across subsidiaries and countries
Core banking
New

Xperia 360

The core banking platform for microfinance institutions, SACCOs and agency networks. Customers, savings, loans, group savings, agents, merchants and the general ledger run on one governed system, so your teams stop reconciling spreadsheets and customers are served in the branch, with an agent, in the field or on their phone.

  • Twelve integrated modules on one customer record and one double-entry ledger
  • Maker-checker and tiered approvals on every sensitive action
  • Agency and merchant banking with float, limits and automated settlement
  • Group and VSLA savings, share-outs and SACCO dividend runs
  • Automated end-of-day, month-end and year-end close that stops safely on failure
  • AML screening, large-cash flags, PAR provisioning and a full audit trail
More solutions
