Allica Bank now live on Mambu

Published on

Allica Bank has gone live on cloud banking platform, Mambu.

The platform supports Allica in bringing bespoke lending products to SMEs.

In November 2021, Allica announced a purchase of Allied Irish Bank’s GB SME customers, which brought with it a complex loan portfolio. Allica needed a technology solution to help them offer the loans to customers in a matter of months and began a conversation with Mambu.

Richard Morgans, general manager for the UK and Ireland at Mambu, said: “Left unaddressed, SME demand for digital-age lending represents a huge missed opportunity for banks and lenders. Financial institutions need to do more to tackle challenging application processes for loans, and Allica Bank is playing a key role in doing exactly that.

“Through a combination of in-house expertise and Mambu’s composable technology stack, Allica has been able to expedite the delivery of a complex loan portfolio at impressive speed.”

Richard Davies, CEO at Allica Bank, added: “As a fintech, technology is at our core. Whilst we’re focused on building a lot of our own technology solutions, we were presented with a unique opportunity after acquiring a £600 million loan portfolio from AIB. We needed the ability to offer customers complex loan products in a matter of months.

“Being cloud native, Mambu and its composable architecture gave us the flexibility needed to seamlessly integrate with Allica’s cloud-led tech stack. Our implementation involved greenfield and migration elements and a very complex loan portfolio, yet it took only three months to complete. The partnership and collaboration between Allica and Mambu teams at every level, has been a key success factor.”
