Conakry, October 28, 2025
Capital Banking Solutions announces that Akiba Finance Group, one of the most innovative microfinance institutions in Guinea Conakry, has chosen the integrated suite of solutions — including CapitalBanker™, featuring ISO 20022 financial flow management, and CapitalConnect™ — to efficiently and securely manage all its banking operations.
Akiba Finance Group is an inclusive and digital financial institution, licensed by the Central Bank of the Republic of Guinea (BCRG) in the Microfinance category. The Group is the first financial institution in Guinea to offer digital banking services.
AKIBA’s vision is of an Africa where technology supports awareness, simplifies everyday life, and where growth is measured not only in numbers but in human impact.
Its mission is to “promote gender equality and empower vulnerable people by giving them access to financial services, financial education, and entrepreneurial capacity building,” embodied in its slogan “AKIBA, the bank for everyone!” These values are perfectly aligned with the objectives of the National Program for Economic and Social Development (PNDES) of the Republic of Guinea.
CapitalBanker™, a Core Banking System, will enable Akiba Finance to manage all its operational activities — Front, Middle, and Back Office — through a fully configurable solution adapted to the products and services the institution wishes to offer. The ISO 20022 financial flow management module ensures the security and compliance of both internal and external transactions.
CapitalConnect™, a secure open-source middleware, will allow Akiba Finance to connect all its systems, develop its own APIs, and link Capital Banking Solutions’ products with potential external products, thereby offering maximum flexibility for future growth.
Alain Klat, Group Sales Director at Capital Banking Solutions, stated: “The deployment of CapitalBanker™ and CapitalConnect™ solutions within Akiba Finance demonstrates our ability to provide an integrated, secure, and scalable banking infrastructure designed to sustainably support the innovation and growth of an inclusive financial institution.”
Hadiatou Barry, Founder of Akiba Finance Group, added: “This collaboration enables us to structure our financial institution in a robust and scalable way, while remaining true to our social mission and our vision of serving those who dare to believe that success is possible differently ,and together, hand in hand. Akiba moves forward with a gentle conviction: progress only has value if it uplifts. We want to build an institution that breathes clarity, fairness, and kindness.”
