TIB replaced the legacy system, as the main requirements for the bank were a fully-fledged bank -in- a- box solution that provides a full range of modules and incorporates a flexible group model.

The solution will enable the bank to serve its rapidly-growing customer base in Tunis with a state-of-the-art core banking system.
