a leading Nigerian bank restores safe innovation and lifts app rating to 4.7★ with Alty

The client, a leading Nigerian bank, faced significant challenges in innovating its mobile banking platform due to legacy infrastructure. Years of incremental updates had created a fragile system where even small changes carried high operational risk, slowing product evolution and hindering competitiveness against fintech rivals. Alty was engaged to address these structural issues and restore the bank's ability to innovate safely for its over 30 million customers.

Alty rebuilt the product architecture and technical foundation of the bank's mobile ecosystem. This solution modernized the platform, reduced release risk, and restored safe innovation. The results were substantial, including an app rating increase from 3.4 to 4.7 stars, a 35% growth in new users, and year-over-year growth of 19%. The project also enabled the bank to confidently expand its digital services, turning the mobile platform into a broader financial ecosystem.
