As a new bank in the Yemeni market, we believe that the success will never be achieved without strong partnerships. Our new partnership with ICSFS will lead to corporate sustainability and maintain our business growth and economic value in the future. Considering the special circumstances in our region and especially in Yemen, the selection criteria elements for the core-banking software were very critical. Fortunately, ICSFS’ decent reputation and wide experience in Yemen, and other similar markets for both; conventional and Islamic banking, had made the technical selection decision relatively easy for HCB’s management, and outweighed ICSFS as a strategic partner for our new business.
At ICSFS, we believe that banks need to take a holistic approach in choosing their banking application; to drive innovation, generate new opportunities and create a market advantage over their peers. It is our privilege to welcome Hadhramout Commercial Bank to our ICS BANKS community. Amongst the many products and features that HCB will benefit from, the bank will mostly enjoy ICS BANKS’ comprehensive digital platform capabilities in leveraging customer onboarding user experience, more customer reach, financial inclusion, and acquiring desired customer information at any time at any place.
