The problem

The journey to founding Nyla Bank was shaped by Mubarak's experience as the founder of Bezo Money, where he learned firsthand the complexities and challenges that startups often face in building scalable digital solutions. Through this journey, Mubarak recognized the value of partnering with seasoned technology professionals to streamline development and accelerate product launches. This insight laid the foundation for Nyla Bank's mission: to offer a Shariah-compliant digital banking platform focused on ethical, transparent, and inclusive financial solutions. By leveraging external expertise and strategic partnerships, Nyla Bank aims to bridge gaps in financial accessibility, providing user-friendly, secure banking services that empower underbanked communities in Africa.

The solution

To bring Nyla Bank's vision to life, we implemented a multifaceted solution designed to balance speed to market with a tailored user experience. The solution involved the use of both pre-built and custom elements to deliver a robust digital banking platform.

Off-the-shelf Modules: We leveraged existing banking and onboarding modules to provide essential features quickly, ensuring that Nyla Bank's core services were functional and compliant from the start. This approach minimized development time and allowed us to focus resources on delivering a seamless user experience.

Product Design & Strategy: Collaborating closely with Nyla Bank, we developed a comprehensive product strategy aligned with their mission of ethical, inclusive banking. Our design team crafted user-centric interfaces and intuitive workflows, ensuring that every interaction reflected Nyla Bank’s values of transparency and accessibility.

Website Design and Development: Using Webflow, we designed and developed a responsive, visually appealing website to serve as the bank's digital front door. This site was optimized for user engagement, providing a clear entry point for potential customers to explore Nyla Bank’s services.

Custom Product Development: To address gaps not covered by off-the-shelf solutions, we developed additional bespoke features tailored to Nyla Bank’s unique requirements. This included enhancing core functionalities to meet Shariah-compliant standards and improving customer engagement tools, ensuring a differentiated and value-driven user experience.

This integrated approach allowed Nyla Bank to establish a solid foundation with a mix of modular and custom-built solutions, enabling them to quickly and effectively serve their target market.
