Amity has been associated with the Family Bank (FBL) in Kenya for the past 5 years. Amity has been providing support to FBL for its mission critical software used for its Banking operations. Amity has also been helping FBL migrate its application to newer Technology platforms by Re-Engineering its applications.

In view of the confidence developed over the years FBL has assigned the task of integrating the core application with its ATMs, which are being installed at FBL branches in view of their conversion into a full, fledged Bank. FBL has installed ATMs provided by Kenswitch and Amity would be providing the interface for the ATMs to access accounts in the Bank's database of account holder's through an ATM manager.

FBL customers already use Amity's Smart card based e-Passbook, which is issued to customers enabling them to avail of the anywhere banking facility. Same Smart card will be integrated with ATM network and be used as ATM Card.

Amity would also be associated in helping FBL in migrating the current Branch accounting system to a core Banking system developed by Amity.
