Myanmar Oriental Bank in banking software revamp
Myanmar is busy with banking tech projects
Myanmar Oriental Bank (MOB Bank) is looking to modernise its core banking software. Banking Technology understands that the new system of choice is Temenos’ T24.
Temenos provided a “no comment” response.
MOB Bank was set up in 1993 and is privately owned. It has 26 branches and offers savings, remittances and SME financing.
The bank is now in the process of recruiting a core banking system developer, Banking Technology understands.
Temenos already has a couple of clients in the country, namely the Co-operative Bank (CB Bank) and Fullerton, a microfinance lender to retail clients and SMEs.
