OpenWay helped NBG to replace its legacy mainframe systems with its future-ready platform WAY4.

The new card management system supports a variety of digital payment such as card and account issuing, transaction switching, merchant acquiring, omni-channel digital banking, digital wallets and an e-commerce gateway.

To date, over four million debit cards have been migrated to WAY4. The lender is now in the process of migrating its credit and prepaid card portfolios and its POS and ATM acquiring business to WAY4. The bank will also replace its Base24 switch to the payment schemes.

As a result of implementation of WAY4 card management system, NBG will be able to slash the total cost of ownership of its IT infrastructure by consolidating its card business on a single platform.
