IS PAWA FOR YOUR COMPANY?

Despite the recent advances in technology, many MFIs, especially in Africa, continue to face significant challenges in managing operations and information. Two key reasons for this situation are the unavailability of suitable MIS applications for microfinance in Africa and the high cost of IT solutions.
PAWA is a cloud-based integrated multi-branch centralized core banking system with cutting-edge technologies such as branchless banking system (smartphone and POS) and SMS banking included as standard features, all with a flexible pricing structure and highly secure.
Whether you are a microfinance bank, a Savings & Loans company, a rural bank, or a rapidly growing MFI, you can rely on PAWA to help maximize growth, increase productivity, and mitigate risks.
