Global footprint of 130+ clients
Payment processor TSYS and Kenya’s Commercial Bank of Africa (CBA) held an awards ceremony to celebrate their 15-year partnership, which allowed CBA to use TSYS’s PRIME card management solution for its suite of Visa products as well as its fraud and ATM network management solutions (view press release).
TSYS has a global footprint of more than 130 clients in more than 70 countries while CBA plans to continue using PRIME in a time when the first US dollar-denominated Visa credit card in Africa is launched. CBA wants to extend its services to Tanzania and Uganda next year, using the PRIME platform.
According to CBA chief executive officer Jeremy Ngunze, “We would like to thank TSYS for its first-class support during these last 15 years and for the help it has given us in introducing our portfolio of successful product offerings.
Jaffar Agha-Jaffar, managing director, Middle East and Africa for TSYS said that “We look forward to further extending our strong partnership and help CBA continue to deliver an exciting range of new products and services backed by our renowned support and global expertise.”
