Problem

Rwanda's central bank needed to protect consumers as digital financial services expanded. Consumers faced financial scams and mis-selling, making accessible complaint handling part of its supervisory work.

Approach

The National Bank of Rwanda deployed Proto's Intumwa AI agent in 2021 to process financial-consumer complaints. By November 2025, the system was being expanded with Kinyarwanda voice capability and deeper connections to customer-support systems.

Results

more than 600financial institutions covered by Intumwa complaints processing, according to ProtoVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

Intumwa provided a shared complaint-handling service across the financial sector. The expansion into voice remained separate from the established complaints deployment.
