This feature is said to be particularly beneficial, considering the bank’s expansion plans in West African Monetary Union and Central Africa.

At present, Vista has 43 branches across Sierra Leone, Guinea and The Gambia.

Plans are on to extend the bank’s reach to 15 countries by 2025.

Vista group chairman Simon Tiemtore said: “I am delighted that, through our partnership with Temenos which leverages their 25 years of industry expertise, we now have the most sophisticated, innovative, cloud-native banking platform.

“This will help us realise our vision of building a truly pan-African financial institution group that will add value to the African economy and promote financial inclusion.”

Vista was formed in 2015 through investment fund Lilium Capital’s takeover of First International Bank (FIB) Group.
