Innovation and collaboration have been at the core of Ifeks Solutions and Consulting Ltd.’s success in the Nigerian technology industry. The business has kept pushing the limits of what is possible, and in 2021 it made history by being the first African business to, in collaborations with international partners build a self serving hardware kiosk that allowed banks to instantly issue cards.

The hardware kiosk revolutionizes the banking sector in Nigeria because it enables banks to promptly issue debit cards, shortening the waiting period for customers to receive them. Modern technology, such as high-speed internet connectivity, biometric authentication, and a variety of hardware components that enable smooth card issuance, is used in the kiosk.

The big win for the Nigerian company is that the hardware was built from scratch to seal locally. It is designed to perform various card – related transactions, including card issuance, replacement and activation. The kiosk is also equipped with a lens that captures the image of the individual that the card is to be issued to, ensuring that the card is issued to the proper individual.

The hardware kiosk is not only user-friendly but also extremely secure. It is equipped with biometric authentication functions such as facial and biometric recognition which ensure that only authorized users can access the machines. 

The introduction of the hardware kiosk has been introduced by various stakeholders in the Nigerian banking industry such as Guaranty Trust Bank, Zenith Bank, Stanbic IBTC etc and these have commended Ifeks Solutions and Consulting Ltd. for its innovative approach to banking services.

The hardware kiosk is an excellent example of how technology and collaboration can be harnessed to provide innovative solutions that enhance customer experience in the financial industry. The kiosk provides a cost-effective means of issuing debit cards to customers while reducing the need for customers to wait for days or weeks to receive their cards.

Building the hardware for an automated is just one way Ifeks is creating a revolution for lives and businesses with technology.
