Axe Finance and ACP: a brief file
Axe Finance emerged in the mid-2000s in Tunisia, set up by two specialists in the risk management space. It was initially a consultancy firm in the lending automation space, but the founders saw a niche in the market, which led to the creation of ACP.
The solution is available on the Microsoft Windows Azure cloud as well as an onsite deployment.
ACP is back-end agnostic, supports conventional and Islamic finance and the implementation typically takes four to eight months, according to the vendor.
The first customer came in 2009, in the shape of state-owned Société Tunisienne de Banque (STB) in Tunisia. Axe Finance’s system covers both retail and corporate operations across the entire bank.
Today, the company has customers across 20 countries and offices in Amsterdam, Dubai and Frankfurt.
Customers include:
• Access Bank in Nigeria;

• Bank AlJazira in Saudi Arabia;
