Access Bank embarks on second major core banking upgrade, in five years, starting today
- Access Bank Plc begins an upgrade of its core banking application, Flexcube by Oracle.
- Branches will close early at 2pm and all internal processing systems will shut down by 5pm on February 21, 2025.
- Digital channels will be temporarily unavailable from 2:00am to 3:00am on February 22, 2025, and from 2:00am to 1:00pm on February 23, 2025.
The planned upgrade of Access Bank's core banking application is a necessary step for the bank to keep pace with its rapid growth and customer base expansion. However, the previous experience of GTBank's upgrade serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the importance of effective communication and minimizing service disruptions during such transitions.
