BGFIBank RDC, a subsidiary of the BGFIBank Group, recently obtained the PCI-DSS certification awarded by the information security company DATA Protect. This triple certification strengthens the position of this pan-African bank in terms of security and confidentiality of banking data.
The presentation of the certification took place during a ceremony which took place at the head office of the bank in Kinshasa Gombe. This success underlines the commitment of BGFIBank RDC in the search for excellence and in the protection of the personal data of its customers.
PCI-DSS certification is an international standard that guarantees the security of payment cardholder data. By obtaining it, BGFIBank RDC demonstrates its compliance with best practices in terms of data protection and reinforces the confidence of its customers.
This certification is all the more important in a context where the digitization of the financial sector is gaining more and more momentum. By complying with the strictest standards in terms of the security of electronic banking transactions, BGFIBank RDC has established itself as a reference in terms of the protection of banking data in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The PCI-DSS certification is in addition to two other certifications already obtained by BGFIBank RDC: the AML 30000 anti-money laundering and terrorist financing system, as well as the ISO 9001 version 2015 standard which guarantees the quality of the services offered by the bank.
This triple certification confirms BGFIBank DRC’s desire to position itself as a reference bank by meeting the highest standards of security and quality. It is also part of the “Mbotama Ya Sika” strategic development plan, which aims to offer a targeted presence in the main economic centers of the country and to become the trusted partner of entrepreneurs and the Congolese population.
By obtaining PCI-DSS certification, BGFIBank RDC demonstrates its ability to evolve in a secure digital environment while offering quality services to its customers. This move confirms the bank’s ambition to become the benchmark for banking services in the Democratic Republic of Congo
