Tyme is a Digital Bank Redesigning Retail Banking for the Future

By Nnamdi Odumody

Tyme Bank is a South African digital bank which is redesigning retail bank of the future. It uses artificial intelligence to interact with its customers online, and ATM kiosks offline, as it has no physical branches, offering a low cost account, targeting the 11 million unbanked people in the rainbow nation.

The bank of the future will be a technology company, which will utilize data analytics to offer personalized real-time financial services, to its customers, no matter where they are located. It will likely operate mainly with limited physical branches, unbounded by locations – rural or urban, thereby promoting financial inclusion for all. Some banks in Nigeria are already redesigning their strategies to key into this redesign which has become evident to technology leaders. For these banks, technology does not just run them, technology is transforming them, and that is great.

Tyme charges no monthly administration fees, smart app subscription fees and it offers users free Wi-fi at its partners Pick N Pay & Boxer retail stores which have a Tyme Bank Kiosk. Customers can download the smart App from Google Play Store.
