Case Study: Al Salam Bank scales acquisition-ready banking and AI innovation with Temenos Core

Al Salam Bank scales with Temenos: 85% of processes automated and two acquisitions migrated in under 8 months

Al Salam Bank, a major bank in Bahrain, faced significant challenges due to its legacy technology environment, which was complex, siloed, and constrained innovation. This infrastructure limited the bank's ability to grow, integrate acquisitions, and meet evolving customer needs efficiently. To overcome this, the bank partnered with vendor Temenos to implement a strategic core banking transformation using Temenos Core.

By standardizing on Temenos Core, Al Salam Bank successfully migrated two acquired banks in under eight months each and fully decommissioned all legacy systems. The solution enabled 85% process automation, a 6x increase in IT capacity, and a 10x increase in telecom throughput. Temenos provided the robust and scalable platform that supported the launch of over 50 AI initiatives and the award-winning OneApp marketplace, fundamentally resetting the bank for continuous growth and innovation.
