Service lineAPI Development & Integration
KCB set out to issue virtual cards through the Vooma Digital Wallet and needed its card management infrastructure to keep up.
- Card creation, activation and updates relied on in-person processes, causing delays and inefficiency.
- New services had to work smoothly with KCB's existing legacy banking infrastructure.
- A growing customer base required automated multi-currency virtual card issuance and real-time transactions.
We modernised TranzWare, KCB's legacy card application, into a microservices architecture and exposed 17 card services as APIs. A senior backend squad, DevOps engineer, business analyst and scrum master worked side by side with KCB's internal team on every deliverable.
- 0117 APIs delivered for integration with dependent internal systems.
- 02Project completed at 100% against procurement requirements.
- 03Full documentation and technical walkthroughs handed over to KCB's IT teams.
The project became a milestone in KCB's digital transformation and accelerated its DevOps maturity journey, leaving the bank with a secure, scalable, API-driven card issuance and management ecosystem.
