Reinventing Banking Solutions to Exceed the Industry Expectations

With the constant disruption in the industries, technologies are paving the way towards more efficient and productive processes. The pace of disruption is exponential and solutions are becoming obsolete overnight. Hence, to keep abreast of changing times, companies are investing a considerable amount of time in reinventing their solutions.

Capital Banking Solutions is one of the leading banking software companies in the world that is engrossed in reinventing its products to maintain its nimbleness. Because of its unique and innovative solutions along with the capability to reinvent, the company has witnessed drastic growth since its inception. Based in Lebanon, Capital Banking Solutions boasts of more than 250 clients across 63 countries. Serving some world-renowned banks such as UBS France, Banco Sabadell, Bank of Africa, etc., the company has etched its name in the niche.

A journey of Exemplary Institution

Under the leadership of Mr. Samer Hanna – Founder, Chairman, & CEO of Capital Banking Solutions, the company has withstood the test of time. Founded in 2007, it has grown leaps and bounds.

It all began with setting up the first IT company – Trinec, in 2000. It was the region’s first ASP. During that time, ASPs were the latest fashion in computing services by remotely providing customers with specialized IT programs. Today, ASPs are generally considered part of or linked to, the cloud computing sphere, which operates under the same basic principle but has a wider scope.

“The business model of our venture has essentially remained the same, but the company has evolved in several ways. Notably in the creation of a consulting arm, which has a lucrative market in providing expertise on Microsoft infrastructures to clients that include public sector entities and telecommunication corporations,” asserts Mr. Hanna.

Proficient Leadership

Mr. Hanna, who is an active entrepreneur in the IT-sphere, has professional experience of more than two decades in the financial technology domain. Utilizing the experience with big banks in the EMEA and Mid-Atlantic regions, he put the company in a solid position.

Mr. Hanna has also co-founded, invested in, and sits on the board of several startups in the MENA region, spanning a range of industries, including technology, real estate, and hospitality.

Dynamic Personality

“Success never comes without challenges. Just like every other success story, Capital Banking Solutions has also faced challenges during its initial days. Retaining key employees required substantial investments and building the right team for the job was a tough challenge,” states Mr. Hanna.

Through a clear and defined vision with determination and persistence, he overcame all the challenges and obstacles. As the market changes and so does the needs of clients and customers, he stays attuned with these changes. This translates into developing innovative solutions that will give the clients an edge over their competition.

He strongly believes that high value and quality of human resources are critical elements for success.
