March 1, 2025, 10:24 am
In the heart of Nigeria, a financial revolution is brewing. The Self-Reliance Economic Advancement Programme (SEAP) has taken a bold step into the digital age. With the selection of Oradian’s core banking platform, Instafin, SEAP is poised to transform its operations and expand its reach. This partnership is not just a technological upgrade; it’s a leap toward financial empowerment for countless Nigerians.
Founded in 1998, SEAP has long been a beacon of hope for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria. With over 200 branches and more than 400 mobile digital touchpoints, it serves nearly 400,000 active customers. SEAP’s mission is clear: to promote sustainable livelihoods and foster economic growth. Its partnerships with organizations like the Grameen Foundation and Oiko Credit have bolstered its efforts, but now, the stakes are higher.
The digital landscape is changing rapidly. SEAP recognized the need to adapt. Enter Oradian, a leader in cloud-based core banking solutions. The transition to Instafin was swift, completed in just six weeks. This speed ensured minimal disruption to daily operations, a crucial factor for any financial institution. In a world where time is money, SEAP’s quick adaptation is a testament to its commitment to progress.
With Oradian’s platform, SEAP has unlocked a treasure trove of benefits. Operational efficiency has soared. Data management is now seamless. Customer service capabilities have been significantly enhanced. The result? A more streamlined digital experience for customers. This transformation aligns perfectly with SEAP’s strategic goal of tripling its growth and expanding its suite of digital financial services.
The features of Oradian’s platform are game-changers. Its API-first design allows for seamless integration with third-party solutions. This flexibility is vital for SEAP, which operates under a unique business model with complex reporting requirements. Oradian’s Custom Code capabilities mean that SEAP can tailor the platform to meet its specific needs. This adaptability is like a tailor-made suit, fitting perfectly to the contours of SEAP’s operations.
The implications of this partnership extend beyond mere efficiency. SEAP is now well-positioned to expand its digital banking services. This expansion is not just about growth; it’s about increasing financial access for underserved communities. In a country where many still lack basic banking services, SEAP’s digital transformation is a beacon of hope. It promises to drive economic empowerment across Nigeria.
Oradian’s commitment to innovation is evident. The company understands the nuances of the financial landscape. Its solutions are designed to empower institutions like SEAP to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
