Sofibanque will leverage the 2MW facility in Kinshasa to upgrade and transform its IT systems, leveraging secure and scalable infrastructure solutions to support its growing customer base.

“We are proud to support Sofibanque in their journey towards digital transformation and look forward to welcoming other local and pan Africa banks.”

Known as Raxio DRC1, the facility is backed by a US$30 million investment and represents a milestone as the country looks to drive digital inclusion, foster private sector growth and transform public services through digitalisation.
