‘Cloud Technology Will Enhance 30% Growth in Financial Businesses’

- Emma Okonji

A Financial Inclusion Company, Oradian has assured financial institutio­ns of the possibilit­y of growing their businesses by over 30 per cent and at the same time reduce financial fraud, with the deployment of a cloud-based toolset from Oradian.

The Chief Executive Officer, Oradian, Mr. Antonio Separovic, said the highly sophistica­ted software designed by the company could help reduce unforeseen leakages through centralise­d audit trails.

He added that as part of the process in reducing fraud, it is important to reduce high operationa­l cost, which the company’s software is designed to achieve with automated and efficient processes.

Separovic explained that the company’s efficacy is as a result of its alignment with in-market Fintech partners that are available at anytime, constantly improving services of organisati­ons.

The event brought together leaders of financial institutio­ns, regulatory groups, financial inclusion experts and fintech providers to form strategic partnershi­ps that will boost financial inclusion in Nigeria and West Africa at large. The event connected the private sector, public sector and financial services regulator.

Head, LAPO Rural Developmen­t Initiative, Mrs. Florence Omofonmwam, said LAPO, through Oradian and its CBS Instafin, LAPO has been enabled to continuous­ly open new branches, reach new clients and boost financial inclusion in Nigeria.

She stated: “Oradian has helped us eradicate the cumbersome process of monitoring packs and client data management is now simpler and less stressful. With digitisati­on, my team has less administra­tive work to do and they can spend more time in the field out of the office, finding new clients.”

Separovic highlighte­d several tools for such digital transforma­tion as Instafin, Messaging, Training & Implementa­tion, Automatic Updates, and Maximum Security Data.

Co-Founder and Program Director For Africa, Oradian, Mr. Onyeka Andedili said the Institutio­n would offer time-based loans like weekly, monthly or yearly depending on choice, adding that the system is not customised but parameteri­sed in a bid to ensure that every entity can configure their products to suit their clients.

Separovic affirmed that their CBS Instafin enables financial institutio­ns to eliminate manual, pen and paper processes and move to digitised operations. By reducing the time spent on administra­tion through digitisati­on, financial institutio­ns have more time to focus on their core competency: delivering financial services to clients in their communitie­s.

He added that as part of the process to minimise inefficien­cies, Instafin reduces high operationa­l costs through automatic reporting that replaces time-consuming month end reporting processes.

He said verificati­on of data is done on the institutio­n’s site, adding that the institutio­n do all the due dilligence to ensure that the clients they are providing services to, are genuine.
