Absa Group says it has successfully migrated its banking platform in six of its African subsidiaries from Barclays’ data centre in United Kingdom to South Africa. Absa, a south African registered lender also has operations in Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, Namibia and a representative office in London. The migration between April 12 and 14 included moving customer transaction-processing capability and data from IT systems owned and housed by Barclays to systems owned by Absa. This is part of Absa Group’s separation from Barclays. Normal banking operations resumed on Monday with all branches open and all digital channels and ATM services fully restored.
