The Challenge
Following a period of rapid growth through acquisition, ECOBANK were looking to achieve enterprise-wide operational efficiencies and alignment. In order to do this, they chose to focus firstly on their customer services, merchant operations, risk and compliance functions.
ECOBANK’s fast-paced expansion had resulted in a lack of process consistency & standardisation across their acquired brands. The numerous manual and non-transparent processes at play were something ECOBANK were keen to address.
Additionally, in the face of increasing industry regulation and compliance requirements, ECOBANK were eager to stay ahead of the curve in responding to these changes, whilst also maintaining the relentless customer focus and agility that is at the core of their DNA.
What did

ECOBANK & DiHA’s shared appreciation for the power of combining scale and global reach with flexibility and agility made our partnership an obvious choice. DiHA have been working with ECOBANK since November 2020 in 2 key workstreams: Automation Delivery and Mobile Chatbot Migration, supporting the ECOBANK Automation365 team specialising in Cognitive and Robotic Automation.
Automation Delivery – DiHA are working with the ECOBANK Automation365 team to identify, design, build, test and deploy automated solutions using UiPath Automation Software. Thus far DiHA have delivered 28 Automations across 3 core business functions: Merchant Services, Consumer Services and Risk.
