Go-live Tanzania

17 March 2026

🚀 The Third Major Milestone in ASA International International’s Digital Transformation Journey.

We are excited to announce the Go-Live of our Core Banking System (CBS) and Digital Financial Services (DFS) at ASA Microfinance Tanzania marking the third major milestone in ASA International’s digital transformation journey.

Following the successful migration of ASA Savings & Loans Limited in Ghana in October 2025, delivering another go-live so soon highlights the growing strength, coordination, and momentum across our teams.

“To execute another migration shortly after ASA Ghana is really impressive. Over the last months the teams have shown dedication and focus to achieve this milestone. Taking into account the learnings from earlier migrations resulted in an efficient migration weekend. The cooperation with the local operations team worked really well. I am very proud of everybody involved.”
- Steven van Zuylen, Chief Technology Officer, ASA International

This milestone also marks the first implementation of our lending-only suite, establishing a scalable baseline for further roll-out across our MFI subsidiaries, complementing the full banking setup successfully launched in Ghana.

At the same time, we are experiencing clear improvements in execution as we build on previous go-lives. Learnings from the earlier migrations have translated into tangible enhancements, including a more robust DFS application, stronger guidance on reconciliation from day one and more tailored support for teams during the critical first weeks post-migration.

What this milestone means:
✅ Migration of 313,000 customers, bringing ~50% of our total customer base onto the new Core Banking System
✅ USD 95 million in loans successfully migrated
✅1,100 Loan Officers now using our Digital Financial Services platform to support their daily operations
✅ This same platform lays the foundation for the upcoming launch of the DFS Client App

This is not just a technology rollout, it’s a step forward in how we serve our clients, empower our teams, and drive financial inclusion through innovation.
