Faulu Bank, one of Kenya’s leading financial institutions, has today announced a significant upgrade to its enterprise payments system, Host-to-Host (H2H), enhancing the way businesses and organizations, including government institutions, handle their payments to suppliers, employees, and other beneficiaries. Among the upgrades is its ability to integrate directly with diverse enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, ensuring institutions of all sizes can benefit. This means that companies and organizations can continue using their current financial systems while taking full advantage of the new payment capabilities.
Launched in 2023, the Faulu Host-to-Host product transforms how customers interact with the bank, particularly when it comes to making payments to multiple stakeholders. Traditionally, such payments often involve cumbersome paperwork, manual processes, and the need for customers to visit banks physically to sign documents. These processes not only consumed valuable time but also introduced the risk of errors and delays, which could disrupt business operations and relationships.
By leveraging the power of digital technology, the upgraded Faulu H2H solution simplifies this entire process, allowing businesses to automate payments, eliminating the need for paper-based transactions. This new development significantly reduces the administrative burden on all businesses, streamlining their payment operations, enhancing efficiency and productivity. Additionally, the pricing is competitive, ensuring that customers enjoy reduced processing costs because of economies of scale.
“Our enhanced Host-to-Host solution is designed to help all our customers eliminate the hassle of paper-based transactions, giving them the ability to make payments quickly, efficiently, and securely. Whether it’s paying suppliers, employees, or any other beneficiary, businesses and organizations can now carry out these operations seamlessly, without the need for physical visits to the bank,” said Julius Ouma, the Chief Executive Officer at Faulu Bank.
In addition to simplifying the payment process, the Faulu H2H system also ensures enhanced security. Faulu Bank continues to invest heavily in robust encryption and authentication protocols to protect sensitive financial data. Its security protocols ensure that transactions are secure, reducing the risk of fraud, and providing customers with peace of mind when making payments.
“As we continue to enhance our products for streamlined payments services, we remain critically aware of the need for heightened security measures. This is as the advancement of technology globally exposes banking technologies to diverse risks. Our upgraded H2H system is embedded with multiple security features, making it one of the most secure in the region,” said Julius Ouma.
Looking ahead, Faulu Bank is committed to continuing to evolve its payments systems to meet the changing needs of its customers. As part of its long-term strategy, the bank plans to expand its suite of digital banking products, making banking more accessible and convenient for both businesses and individuals.
