As the dust settles on the announcement that Old Mutual has received regulatory approval under section 17 of the South African bank’s act, we could not be more proud, we have been partnering with OM Bank for 3 years and delighted to be part of the journey and success. Having an opportunity to work on an initiative that so closely aligns with the Ikigai Digital values and has helped shaped Ikigai values does not come along very often, and having been on the journey from day 1 makes it even more special! Congratulations to the whole OM Bank team on this incredible achievement, and a big thank you to Rolf Eichweber, Royden Volans, Pauline Molloyi, Ray Deftereos, Dion Retief, Ina De Vry and Suvania Moodliar (as well as ex CIO Sudhish Mohan) for your continued support and the opportunity to contribute to such an amazing initiative. #IBUILTABANK was the theme of the evening celebrating this great achievement and yes, not many can say they've built a bank and we cannot wait to see how OM Bank will contribute to improving the lives of everyday South Africans. #digitalbank #digitalbanking #southafrica #ibuiltabank
