“Kenya’s Leading GDI Partner”
Seamless CBK-GDI Compliance
Empowering Financial Institutions with Automated Granular Data Integration
The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has mandated the transition to Granular Data Integration (GDI), requiring all financial institutions to submit detailed, transaction-level data via API.
Finoworks Technologies provides a robust, end-to-end integration solution designed to automate this pipeline, ensuring your institution remains compliant while minimizing operational disruption.
The Challenge:
Meeting the CBK Mandate
The GDI project moves away from traditional aggregate reporting. Banks must now provide high-frequency, high-volume datasets in a strictly defined format.
Data Silos:
Information is often scattered across Core Banking Systems (CBS), ERPs, and legacy databases.
Format Complexity:
CBK requirements demand precise data mapping and validation.
API Security:
Establishing a secure, reliable handshake with CBK’s systems is non-negotiable.
The Finoworks Solution
Our GDI Integration Layer acts as a sophisticated middleware that sits between your internal infrastructure and the CBK API gateway. We handle the heavy lifting of extraction, transformation, and transmission.
Multi-Source Connectivity
Connects to CBS, Trade Finance, Treasury, and HR systems simultaneously
Automated Data Mapping
Automatically transforms internal data formats into the CBK-required XML/JSON structures
Validation Engine
Pre-scrubs data to catch errors or missing fields before transmission to avoid CBK rejection
Secure API Gateway
Employs enterprise-grade encryption and authentication for all data in transit.
Real-timeMonitoring
A dashboard to track submission status, success rates, and audit trails.
