One of the largest industries currently undergoing a seismic shift is financial services. The stark contrast from traditional financial institutions to new age (digital) financial services is tremendous, ranging from business efficiency, cost savings, increased accuracy, improved competitiveness, greater agility and most importantly enhanced security. The slick experience and transparency offered by challengers’ bring a great shift in customer loyalty.

Nowhere is that belief more embedded than in retail banking, a sector that has been the focus of consumer dissatisfaction and mistrust. Nevertheless, over 80% of Nigeria current account holders still use one of the ‘big six high street banks. If FINTECH really is going to make an outsized impact in this market, it needs to attract a more radical movement of customers and capital. And that means it needs a digital bank which can break out of the niche market of early adopters and into the mainstream.

Rubies is a fully digital banking platform, offering zero fee banking targeted at millennials, young professionals, SMEs, quasi-financial institutions and FINTECH companies. Rubies brings new concepts to Banking Technology, Marketing and Engagements powered by Cloud Technology, AI and analytics.
