Nomad's Cortex processing platform is delivering the processing power for a new prepaid card initiative launched at Value Retail luxury outlet shopping Villages.
"It quickly became clear that Cortex's comprehensive functionality would not only help us swiftly and efficiently achieve our immediate goals, but would also enhance future initiatives and enable us to maintain our position as the leading bank in the country".
One of the major factors in the National Bank of Malawi's decision to work with Nomad on the project was the ability of the Cortex platform to easily interface with the bank's highly sophisticated back-office system, based on the established retail banking system, Bankmaster.
It is Cortex's open systems architecture and modular structure that provides the flexibility to achieve this level of compatibility and makes it the ideal solution for successful implementation in a broad range of demanding environments.
Martin Golding, Chief Operating Officer for Nomad Cortex, said: "The National Bank of Malawi has an exceptional reputation of providing new services to service customers and stimulate business growth in Malawi; the proven processing capability of Cortex will ensure a smooth migration to VISA compliant products within a tight deadline".
