Pakistan is a “key growth market” for Temenos, notes Jean-Paul Mergeai, MD of Temenos Middle East and Africa, and TMB marks its 15th customer in the country.
The bank aims to achieve greater efficiency by monitoring transactions better, controlling fraudulent activities and complying with regulatory requirements in a timely manner all while empowering its field staff to digitally perform banking services.
