Bank ABC

We are pleased to announce that Bank ABC has received the Temenos Forward Award at the 2026 Temenos Community Forum (TCF), recognising the Bank’s progress in core banking transformation and digital innovation. This accolade highlights our ongoing transformation journey and the successful rollout of the cloud-native Temenos platform across our Group, helping strengthen agility, scalability and operational efficiency.

Group Chief Operating Officer, Ismail Mokhtar, commented: “With the migration to Temenos, we now operate on a modern, scalable platform that enhances agility, enables innovation, and supports an enhanced customer experience. This initial implementation for ila Bank was a crucial step in our “One Bank” ambition. Our focus now is on wholesale banking, maximizing value and simplifying processes through increased automation and accelerated digital journeys, enabling faster product deployment across markets.”

Staying relevant in a rapidly evolving world requires more than keeping up, it demands the ability to leap ahead, adapt, and reimagine what’s possible. Concepts like “leapfrogging” and “bouncing forward” challenge individuals and organisations to think beyond incremental progress and embrace transformation.

These ideas are explored by entrepreneur, social innovator, and author Maher Kaddoura, who joins Bank ABC’s Group Chief Digitisation Officer Dr. Yousif Almas in an insightful and forward-looking conversation. Together, they discuss how agility, innovation, and purposeful thinking can help shape a more resilient future.
