Inside the transformation

How RAKBANK uses Kiplot

The three operating themes RAKBANK’s EPMO leans on to keep delivery moving without losing the governance demanded by a regulated banking environment.

Balancing speed and control

RAKBANK’s strategic portfolio management approach lets digital products move at challenger-bank pace while keeping the governance posture a regulated bank requires.

AI-driven portfolio insight

Kiplot’s AI insights help RAKBANK align resources to the work that matters, surface trade-offs early, and replace manual reconciliation with a single portfolio view leadership can act on.

Agility with accountability

Real-time data and transparent governance let RAKBANK keep pace with a fast-moving market while staying ahead of the regulatory expectations attached to a UAE banking licence.

For RAKBANK, the shift from project-focused PPM to strategic portfolio management was the difference between reporting on what had already happened and being able to re-prioritise capital as the conditions facing the bank changed. The challenge: keeping that flexibility inside the governance shape a regulated financial services organisation has to defend.

That’s where the partnership extends beyond software. RAKBANK’s team describe Kiplot less as a vendor and more as a sparring partner: one with visibility into how other global financial services organisations are solving the same trade-offs, and willing to challenge the assumptions behind a portfolio decision rather than simply implement it.

They’re not just a tech vendor. They actively challenge our assumptions and offer insights from their other global financial services clients.
