Fiter, a leader in financial technology solutions, has achieved a significant milestone with the successful overhaul of a prominent Nigerian fintech firm’s Fineract system. This transformation has not only revitalized the firm’s operations but also positioned it as a frontrunner in Nigeria’s competitive fintech industry. The timing of this change is particularly pertinent, as Nigeria is currently experiencing a significant evolution in its financial sector, driven by increased digitalization and regulatory enhancements aimed at fostering innovation and enhancing security.
Fiter’s intervention introduced a suite of key features essential for modern financial operations. One of the pivotal implementations was the NUBAN (Nigeria Uniform Bank Account Number) generation. This feature ensures that every transaction is traceable and secure, thereby boosting customer trust and satisfying stringent regulatory requirements.
To manage the demands of millions of accounts and accommodate expansion, Fiter deployed Kubernetes for autoscaling. This ensures smooth operations regardless of fluctuating loads, providing the necessary infrastructure to handle the dynamic nature of financial transactions.
Additionally, the project introduced asynchronous transaction processing to manage high volumes of transactions seamlessly and without delays. This feature is complemented by accrual accounting for financial products, supporting the complexity and diversity of the firm’s offerings. High-speed wallet transactions were also implemented, maintaining performance reliability even under peak loads.
Strategic decision-making was further enhanced by integrating core transactional systems with advanced data analytics capabilities. This integration allows the firm to harness valuable insights from transactional data, driving informed business decisions and strategies.
Fiter addressed the challenges of evolving business needs and initially vague requirements by employing its agile methodology. This approach allowed for rapid adaptation and effective problem-solving, ensuring that the transformation met the firm’s specific needs and expectations.
The core system was re-engineered to enhance its transaction processing capabilities. Asynchronous processing was introduced to eliminate data bottlenecks, ensuring that high volumes of transactions are processed efficiently. Additionally, read-only replica databases were implemented to manage heavy read operations efficiently, ensuring they did not impact the core processes.
This comprehensive overhaul has not only revitalized the firm’s operations but also positioned it as a leader in Nigeria’s fintech industry. The transformation exemplifies Fiter’s commitment to driving innovation and excellence in financial technology, setting a new standard for the industry.
