The power of QCBS is evident in its track record across three continents – Asia, Africa and Europe. This award reinforces our commitment to transform and empower financial institutions at different stages of technology deployment.”
Intellect has worked with central banks in countries as diverse as Ethiopia, the Seychelles, and most recently, Sweden.
