The certification applies to all core banking processes at its head office, branches, disaster recovery sites and business resumption sites. “The certification is a clear indication of the strength of the bank’s investments in people, processes and technology and demonstrates our commitment to ensuring sustainability of our business while enhancing customer experience.”
“As a member of the Ecobank Group, pan-African bank, we subscribe to international best practice in business continuity management systems and certification by an independent external standards institution affirms this,” he added. Travaly said other Ecobank affiliates in the Central and Southern Africa Region namely Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda also received the ISO certification.
The certification resulted from a comprehensive audit conducted by BSI, the United Kingdom’s national standards body which enjoys the prestige of a Royal Charter.
