NIC Asia Bank has initiated its own payment switch service. Collaborating with société maghrébine de monétique (S2M), the private commercial bank brough its own payment switch system [Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)] for its customers.
The bank has integrated it into its payment system after running a successful trial. The bank said its switch system would bring a sound improvement to the payment system operated through cards. The practice of digital transactions has increased in the last few years and the bank says the number can only grow in the coming years which is why it launched its own payment switch.
The switch will establish interoperability on transactions made via POS and ATM terminals and make payment easier.
