Let’s face it, when it comes to banking, the Swiss have it made. Their reputation is impeccable and it’s this reputation, partly at least, that has seen local software development company Perago relocate its sales and marketing arm from Pretoria to Switzerland.

Recently celebrating its tenth birthday, Perago is one of four companies internationally that supplies clearing systems software to central banks. The company was formed in 1999 by Phillip Tromp, previously GM of IT at the South African Reserve Bank.
