1. Technology overview
Axe Finance is a banking software vendor founded in 2004 and headquartered in Tunis, Tunisia, focused exclusively on credit process automation for financial institutions. Its flagship product, Axe Credit Portal (ACP), automates the full credit lifecycle in a single system: customer onboarding and KYC, financial spreading and credit scoring, underwriting and approval workflows, limit and collateral management, documentation, disbursement, loan servicing and collections, plus business intelligence and reporting.
The platform is configured per institution and covers corporate, commercial, SME, retail and microfinance lending, so a bank can consolidate fragmented origination processes and manual credit memos onto one auditable workflow that enforces risk policy consistently. Axe Finance layers AI-driven decisioning, omnichannel origination and ESG assessment on top of the core product. Customers include banks across Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia — among them Vietnam International Bank (VIB).
