Introducing New Exclusive Analytics Dashboards for Next-level Agency Banking

Agency banking has proven its place as one of the smartest and most successful branchless banking distribution channels in developing markets (an agent network can have up to 20 times higher reach than bank branches (GSMA)).

Still, some organizations find it challenging to achieve the desired ROI from their agency banking model, especially when operating an agent network for the first time.

Strongly motivated to help banks realize the full potential of agency banking, we have now supercharged our robust Agency Banking Solution with actionable data analytics and business intelligence (BI).

Our new, out-of-the-box Agent Network Performance Analytics Dashboards include a tried-and-tested set of exclusive metrics and in-depth reports which answer critical operational questions and help organizations to proactively manage the agent network and drive adoption and growth.

Such questions are:
  • How to improve agent network profitability
  • How to increase agent retention
  • How to predict float and manage liquidity
  • How to reduce customer attrition
  • How to spot agent fraud and more.

Agency Banking Performance Analytics
Our new Agent Network Performance Dashboards come with exclusive metrics based on collective field experience of 25 years analyzing agent networks over 5 billion digital transactions across 14 different markets.
