Ethiopia’s BPC Banking Technologies Appointed To Create National Retail Payments Infrastructure

BPC Banking Technologies, a provider of Open System payment solutions, announces that EthSwitch has chosen their product ‘SmartVista’ to power its national switching operations in Ethiopia.

What made SmartVista stand out was its comprehensive functionality, advanced technology and proven track record in helping payment businesses worldwide capitalize on opportunities presented by the changing payments landscape.

EthSwitch was formed by all the banks in Ethiopia as well as the Ethiopian Bankers’ Association and the National Bank of Ethiopia (which is the central bank). EthSwitch aims to connect all banks to a central transaction switching platform that will provide customers with access to their money and other financial services via any ATM, Point of Sale device, mobile and Internet channels, regardless of which bank issued their card or in which bank their account is kept.

Once the system is implemented, it is visualized that it will drive the Ethiopian financial ecosystem to new levels of efficiency, availability and accessibility while also significantly reducing the levels of cash usage.

BPC will also provide EthSwitch with the ability to interface to International Payments Schemes, such as Visa and MasterCard Worldwide and to enhance local acceptance of these globally branded cards. The SmartVista system will be interfaced to the national Automated Transfer System to facilitate efficient clearing and settlement of all transactions.
