Advans Nigeria successfully completes its migration to SBP Core Amplitude by SBS

PARIS, FRANCE, March 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Advans, an international microfinance group founded in 2005, continues its digital transformation as part of its AIR+ (Advans Innovation Roadmap) program with the migration of its banking information system to SBP Core Amplitude by SBS. Following successful migrations in Ghana, Tunisia, Côte d'Ivoire, and Cameroon in June 2024, Advans Nigeria officially went live on February 17, 2025, further strengthening the partnership between SBS and the Advans Group, which began five years ago.

Advans Services, a subsidiary of the Advans Group, is gradually becoming more autonomous in managing these migrations while benefiting from structured support at key stages:

- Localization: Adapting the system to local requirements, with consultants involved from the early phases in Ghana and Tunisia.
- User Acceptance Testing: Validating system stability and resolving any anomalies.
- Go Live: Successfully implementing the new system.
- Aftercare: Providing post-migration support to ensure a smooth and secure transition.

"With the combined support and expertise of Advans Services and SBS, along with the strong engagement of our teams, the migration process in Nigeria was smooth and efficient. This is a key milestone for Advans Nigeria in its digital journey, continuously improving the experience of our employees and clients," said Gaetan Debuchy, CEO of Advans Nigeria.

With growing autonomy in managing migrations, Advans Services is now preparing for its next major transition in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2026. The successful migration in Nigeria reinforces Advans' commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and promoting financial inclusion through modern, scalable banking solutions.

"Ensuring a seamless migration is our priority, and the success of Advans Nigeria demonstrates our commitment to providing innovative and reliable solutions to financial institutions worldwide," said Camil Bennani Smires, General Manager, SBP Core Amplitude at SBS.
