“We have been supporting software at African banks for many years and we work with leading banks in different countries, so it is crucial for USL to engage with partners who can guarantee quality and bring a high level of expertise to our customers,” said Aonghus GeraghtyPresident and Chief Sales Officer at Union Systems Limited “Digital technologies are characterized by large network effects, large fixed costs and close to zero marginal cost. At USL, we feel that these are key points for banks planning to be the big winners in the African market. Through our partnership with Mitratech, we will be able to help such ambitious banks fully automate their document handling across the entire bank, helping maintain regulatory compliance, reduce costs and improve customer service.”

Over 25 banks, including the biggest bank in Africa and the most profitable bank in the continent’s largest market, count on Mitratech to help them meet the increasing demand for customization, communications and access to customer information. DataStoreDSX supports key enterprise processes and delivers end-to-end control of all content across an organization, including scanned documents, text files, images, word documents, emails, print streams, spreadsheets and more.
