Rawbank, a leading bank in the DRC for the past 12 years, has partnered with OADC - Texaf Kinshasa, the country’s first Tier-III certified, carrier-neutral data centre, to enhance its digital banking services and promote financial inclusion

By collocating at OADC - Texaf Kinshasa, Rawbank is looking to ensure a scalable and reliable environment for its digital assets, enabling it to enhance services like its mobile money platform illicoCash and reach more underserved communities.

“This partnership with OADC - Texaf Kinshasa marks a major step in our journey to modernise banking services in the DRC,” said Mustafa Rawji, general manager of Rawbank. “By leveraging world-class digital infrastructure, we are reinforcing our commitment to providing secure, accessible, and efficient banking solutions for all Congolese. We look forward to the new opportunities this collaboration will unlock for our customers and the broader community.”

“We are excited to welcome Rawbank to our OADC - Texaf Kinshasa data centre,” added Mohammed Bouhelal, managing director of OADC - Texaf Kinshasa. “This collaboration highlights the critical role our facility plays in driving digital transformation in key sectors, including banking. Rawbank’s decision underscores our value in terms of connectivity, resilience, and scalability.”

Rawbank is not the only company taking advantage of the new opportunities opened up by the Tier-III data centre, with ST Digital also recently signing a partnership to make use of the facility.
