‎JUBA, October 10, 2025 

‎

The Bank of South Sudan has officially launched the country’s first-ever Interbank Payment and Settlement System (IPSS), a groundbreaking platform that enables banks to process and settle payments instantly 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

‎

‎The new system, commissioned on Thursday in Juba, marks a major milestone in the country’s financial modernization efforts. 

‎

It allows real-time transfer of funds and securities between banks, enhancing efficiency, transparency, and security across the banking sector.

‎

‎Speaking during the launch, Central Bank officials said the innovation will significantly reduce transaction delays and operational risks caused by manual clearing processes. 

‎

The system is also expected to strengthen the bank’s ability to manage liquidity and implement effective monetary policies.

‎

‎“This system will enable real-time payments and settlements at any time of the day or night, every day of the week,” a senior Central Bank official stated. “It will transform how banks interact, and how customers experience financial services in South Sudan.”

‎

‎According to the Bank, the platform will promote financial inclusion by extending faster and safer banking services to more people including those in remote areas. 

‎

It also opens opportunities for new digital financial innovations, such as mobile banking and online payment systems, which rely on real-time settlement capabilities.

‎

‎The system will further facilitate interoperability between banks, ensuring customers can seamlessly transfer funds across different institutions. 

‎

Analysts believe the move will attract investors, improve business transactions, and boost confidence in South Sudan’s growing financial sector.

‎

‎However, experts have also cautioned that maintaining a secure, round-the-clock digital platform will require strong cybersecurity measures, continuous monitoring, and adequate staff training to ensure smooth operation.

‎

‎The launch of the Interbank Payment and Settlement System positions South Sudan alongside other African nations modernizing their financial infrastructure to meet global standards.
