Saham Bank Enhances Digital Strategy with Fully Online Account Opening Service

Saham Bank has taken a significant step in its digitalization strategy by launching a service that allows customers to open a bank account entirely online. Accessible through the bank’s mobile application, this new feature enables clients to open an account in just five minutes, without the need to visit a branch.

This initiative reflects Saham Bank’s commitment to simplifying the banking experience while maintaining a close relationship with its clients through its network of branches.

A Quick and Remote Account Opening Process

Thanks to this digital solution, new customers can handle all the necessary steps directly from their smartphones. They also have the option to select the branch to which their account will be linked and to gain immediate access to the primary banking services offered by the bank.

With this innovation, Saham Bank meets the demands of a clientele seeking faster, simpler services that align with modern lifestyles.

A Digital Bank Focused on Customer Support

According to Ahmed El Yacoubi, the Chairman of Saham Bank, this evolution is the result of extensive modernization efforts aimed at making banking services smoother and more accessible.

He notes that the automation of routine operations will also allow advisors to dedicate more time to personalized support for clients, particularly regarding their real estate, entrepreneurial, or wealth management projects.

An Ever-Evolving Digital Offering

The launch of the online account opening service complements several recently introduced digital services by the bank.

Among these are free and unlimited instant transfers to all banks from the Start plan, which costs 35 dirhams per month, a continuously available customer service, and fully digital processes for consumer credit applications.

Saham Bank also provides digital solutions for paying tuition fees abroad and managing real-time foreign exchange transactions through its MyFX platform.

Digital Technology Enhancing Customer Relationships

The bank asserts that its digital strategy is not intended to replace human contact but to enhance its value. By automating the most common operations, teams can focus more on advising, supporting, and addressing the complex needs of individuals, professionals, and businesses.

Ongoing Transformation

In the coming months, Saham Bank plans to continue modernizing its digital offerings with the launch of new mobile applications tailored to different customer profiles.

The group also aims to evolve its branch network to provide a more modern experience, strengthening the quality of relationships between advisors and clients.

Previously known as Société Générale Marocaine de Banques, Saham Bank has been operating in Morocco since 1913 and offers a full range of products and services for individuals, professionals, and businesses, with a strategy focused on innovation, service quality, and sustainable development.
