“The existing Nedbank PayToday platform was creaking at the seams and was not extensible enough to meet the future ambitions of the Bank. We were giving up valuable commercial opportunities and needed a technology that was fit for purpose” – Roean K.”

A full platform rebuild and migration – built for security and scale.

Adaire redesigned and rebuilt the Nedbank PayToday platform taking inspiration from other global B2C payments platform and localizing to the Namibian context.

We delivered and continue to evolve key capabilities:

• Consumer Mobile Applications: New, Android and iOS mobile applications incorporating new features such as QR Code scanning and a new Design
• Merchants Portal: Brand new merchants portal enabling self-service for merchants previously impossible and offloading back office support teams
• Administration Portal: Admin functions and visibility for Nedbank staff
• Back End Transaction Engine: An rebuilt back end transaction system
• Integrations and Reporting: Real-time/API and batch-based (file) integrations into bank and 3rd party VAS systems

The improved product is much more than a technical rewrite providing improved security and speed or security,” says Roean. “It’s a full transformation of the product reflects the quality and value of service we offer. Now, a seamless, elegant, and high-performing platform that we can use well beyond Namibia.

• Launch of industry standard features that were not previously available – QR Code, Wallets
• Reduction of costs by introducing merchant self-service portals and others
• Improved stability and reduction in security breaches
• Increased nimbleness for the development of new features
• The platform now boasts a scalable backend architecture that can adapt to future user growth without major overhauls.
