About eBanqr

eBanqr is a core banking platform targeted at microfinance institutions, to facilitate centralized and efficient delivery of services. It is an easy-to-use web-based application, delivered as a service and requires subscription to use. It can be accessed from personal computers (PCs), laptops, tablets and smartphones with Internet access. The platform is very secure and optimized to deliver rich user experience even with poor Internet connectivity. By centralizing the platform, organizations have real-time insight into their operations, and can monitor multiple branches and agents regardless of geographical location.

eBanqr empowers financial institutions to deliver quality service, minimize financial leakages, and have intelligent reports for strategic decisions. Traditional applications with such features will require significant investment both to deploy and maintain. By providing the platform as a service, financial institutions are freed to focus on their core business without worrying about the challenges of maintaining in-house IT infrastructure. All what is needed to use eBanqr is a smartphone/tab/PC, and Internet access.

What our customers say

" My favourite features of eBanqr are the automated accounting entries. Users do not need an accounting background to use the software. Personally, trying to figure out what to debit or credit for the simplest of transactions on other systems were tiresome. I love this product and highly recommend it. "

Martin Odei

" As a micro-credit company, our biggest problem was maintaining up-to-date records. eBanqr's user-friendly platform provided an excellent solution. With minimal support, we were able to migrate thousands of records in a very short time. The reports generated by the software are also very useful. We now keep our records up to date and this is turning our business arround positively. "
