SOGEBANK:

40 Years of Trust, Transformation, and Partnership

Gaëlle Rivière Wulff - Chairperson

As a leading financial institution in Haiti, SOGEBANK marks its 40th anniversary by reflecting on four decades of commitment to the country’s economic development and to the clients and partners who have shaped its journey. This milestone represents not only longevity but also resilience, adaptability, and a sustained dedication to delivering value in a complex and evolving environment.

S

ince its inception, SOGEBANK has built its identity on a strong foundation of trust, proximity, and financial expertise. Over the years, the bank has consistently supported individuals, businesses, and institutions at every stage of their growth – facilitating access to financial services, enabling investment, and contributing to the dynamism of Haiti’s economic fabric. Whether accompanying entrepreneurs in the early stages of their ventures, supporting companies in their expansion, or helping families manage their financial aspirations, SOGEBANK has played a meaningful role in the daily lives of its clients.

Through changing economic cycles and shifting market conditions, the bank has demonstrated its ability to adapt while maintaining a clear sense of direction. This continuity has been essential in building long-term relationships based on reliability and confidence.

Beyond products and services, SOGEBANK has established itself as a partner that understands context, anticipates needs, and delivers solutions with rigor and professionalism.

Celebrating 40 years is, above all, a tribute to the relationships of trust that have been cultivated over time. It is these relationships – with clients, employees, and partners – that have allowed the bank to grow, evolve, and maintain its relevance. This anniversary provides an opportunity to recognize that collective journey, while reaffirming a clear ambition for the future.

Beyond reflecting on the past, this anniversary also marks a decisive step forward. SOGEBANK is entering a new phase of its evolution, marked by strengthened governance, a renewed strategic focus, and a clear ambition to accelerate its transformation. In a rapidly changing financial landscape, where expectations around speed, accessibility, and simplicity continue to rise, the bank is committed to delivering a seamless, modern, and accessible banking experience.

Central to this transformation is a sustained investment in digital capabilities. As customer behaviors evolve and demand for convenient, secure, and intuitive solutions increases, SOGEBANK is enhancing its digital platforms to provide more fluid and

integrated experiences. This includes the ongoing development of online and mobile banking services, the introduction of new functionalities designed to simplify everyday transactions, and the continuous improvement of user experience across all digital touchpoints.

At the same time, the bank is optimizing its internal processes to improve responsiveness, reduce processing times, and ensure a higher level of service consistency. The objective is not only to increase efficiency, but also to enable clients to interact with the bank in a way that is both autonomous and supported – combining the benefits of digital convenience with the reassurance of human expertise.

include services for consumers as well as for the retailer and wholesaler networks that help distribute airtime and recharge services across neighborhoods and local markets. As one of Digicel’s largest distribution partners in Haiti, SogeXpress plays a central role in ensuring the reach, reliability, and continuity of these services.

SogeXpress’s role in this partnership goes beyond distribution. With an extensive network of service points and a long-standing experience in transfers and payments, SogeXpress helps connect international and domestic flows – supporting the smooth conversion between digital value and cash, and reinforcing the everyday reliability that mobile money depends on.

SOGEBANK also recognizes that transformation is not solely technological – it is equally organizational and cultural. The bank is strengthening its internal capabilities, fostering collaboration across teams, and promoting a client-centric mindset at all levels of the organization. This involves equipping teams with the tools, skills, and frameworks necessary to deliver high-quality service, while encouraging accountability and agility in decision-making.

This multi-dimensional collaboration reflects a shared commitment to expanding access, simplifying financial transactions, and supporting greater financial inclusion across Haiti.

By aligning its people, processes, and technology around a shared vision, SOGEBANK is building the foundations for sustainable performance and long-term value creation. This holistic approach to transformation ensures that progress is both meaningful and enduring.

Partnerships have always played a key role in SOGEBANK’s development, and this remains true today. The bank firmly believes that strong, strategic alliances are essential to expanding access to financial services, fostering innovation, and addressing evolving customer needs. In this context, the relationship with Digicel stands out as a tangible illustration of this approach.

This partnership is built on a comprehensive and evolving collaboration that goes beyond a single service offering.

By combining financial expertise with widely used telecommunications infrastructure, SOGEBANK and Digicel are contributing to a more connected and accessible financial ecosystem in Haiti. Together, they have developed solutions that facilitate the seamless interaction between digital wallets and banking services, enabling clients to move funds easily between platforms and access financial services with greater flexibility.

This long-standing partnership has been built on everyday utility.

In SogeXpress service centers, Digicel-related services – such as Pap-Padap recharges and MonCash operations – support the rhythms of daily life. For many communities, these points of service are where a phone is recharged, wallet is funded, bill is paid, and transfer is received. That practical presence is what turns partnership into experience, and experience into trust.

In practical terms, SogeXpress is a key “last-mile” enabler of this collaboration. Through its service centers, clients can carry out MonCash transactions in a secure environment and access services seven days a week across the country. SogeXpress also supports the Digicel ecosystem through Pap-Padap operations, which

Looking forward, SOGEBANK intends to build on these partnerships while continuing to explore new avenues for collaboration. In an increasingly interconnected world, the ability to work effectively with partners – across sectors and industries – will be a key driver of innovation and growth. The bank is therefore committed to developing relationships that create mutual value and deliver tangible benefits to clients and communities alike.

As it enters this new chapter, SOGEBANK remains guided by a clear sense of purpose: to be a trusted partner in the financial lives of its clients and a contributor to Haiti’s economic development.

This purpose is reflected not only in its strategic priorities but also in its day-to-day operations and interactions.

The road ahead will undoubtedly bring new challenges – whether technological, economic, or regulatory. However, it will also present new opportunities to innovate, strengthen resilience, and rethink how financial services can better serve individuals and businesses. With a solid legacy, clear vision, and commitment to continuous improvement, SOGEBANK is well-positioned to navigate this evolving landscape.

The bank will continue to invest in its capabilities, enhance its service offering, and deepen its understanding of client needs.

At the same time, it will remain anchored in the values that have defined its identity over the past 40 years – trust, proximity, and excellence.

Ultimately, celebrating this anniversary is not only about honoring the past – it is about reaffirming a commitment to the future.

A future in which SOGEBANK continues to grow alongside its clients and partners, supports economic activity, and contributes meaningfully to the development of Haiti.

After 40 years, the ambition remains unchanged: to build lasting relationships, deliver forward-looking financial solutions, and play an active role in shaping a more inclusive and resilient financial ecosystem in Haiti.
