Tietoevry worked with Chip Card to implement an upgraded Card Suite switching & clearing solution. The upgrade decreases the execution time of clearing services, eliminates the risk of downtime in the system and reduces operational costs.
Electronic payments are becoming more popular in Serbia and adjacent markets. Chip Card manages over 28m monthly transactions and has over 4m cards registered.
