We’re excited to announce that CARD Myanmar Company Limited (CARD Myanmar) has gone live on the Musoni cloud banking system in partnership with ThitsaWorks.
According to the 2017 Myanmar Living Condition Survey (MLCS), approximately one in four people in Myanmar live below the poverty line. Despite strong progress in poverty reduction in recent years, vulnerability to poverty remains an issue. Microfinance plays a crucial role in bringing credit access to people & SMEs in rural and suburban areas, helping them raise income levels and move out of poverty.
Sharing a common goal to eradicate poverty in Myanmar, CARD Myanmar has chosen Musoni’s award-winning core banking system to easily grow its portfolio and provide more channels to its customers. In the coming months CARD Myanmar will continue their digitalisation journey, and deploy additional channels such as the Musoni digital field application for account officers, and the Musoni client app. All solutions are already translated into local language and the system includes the FRD regulatory financial reports as standard, making the system perfectly suited for Myanmar.
Mr. Bengie L. Buenviaje, Microfinance Expert from CARD Myanmar, said “We are delighted to work together with Musoni and ThitsaWorks. Musoni is perfectly suited for us in supporting our digitalisation strategy. We are convinced that this is an excellent system for us to become a sustainable microfinance company providing integrated services to low-income families and contribute to poverty eradication in Myanmar.”
Cameron Goldie-Scot, Musoni’s CEO, added “We are very proud to be have been chosen as the digitalisation partner for CARD Myanmar, an excellent organisation that has consistently worked to empower marginalised communities. We look forward to supporting their digitalisation journey over the coming years.”
U Nyi Nyein Aye, ThitsaWorks’ CEO, commented “We are excited to partner with CARD Myanmar to help them with their digital transformation. I believe that these reliable and robust systems provided by Musoni will make more effective and efficient changes in the operations of financial institutions, and promote financial inclusion in the country. This will bring positive impacts within the society and we are always welcome to help all MFIs in Myanmar grow.”
