September 12, 2013

ElectraCard Services, a provider of software and processing solutions for enterprise payment systems, has announced a 10-year, multi-million dollar agreement with PT Collega Inti Pratama, a provider of ATM driving, inter-bank and network switching, and card processing services in Indonesia. ECS will replace PT Collega's legacy payment processing systems with its PA-DSS compliant electra solution suite. 

Collega is modernizing its technology to facilitate an advanced services offering for member banks. In addition to helping the company scale up to drive 5,000 ATMs and process 10 million cards for more than 20 banks, the ECS platform will allow Collega to offer value-added services including remittances, bill payments, mobile top-ups, ticket bookings, hajj payments and teller-initiated payment transactions. 

The company also plans to launch new services such as contactless payments, e-commerce and m-commerce acquiring, Islamic and conventional credit cards, and financial inclusion and loyalty solutions.

"Given our ambitious growth plans, we wanted to upgrade our payments infrastructure to a more scalable and robust platform," said PT Collega president director Afrizel Aziz. "ECS's impressive solution stack — with a very high demonstrated performance benchmark, their singular focus on the payments domain and a long-term vision — made them the ideal choice for this partnership."

The electra iTx series is a next generation SOA based transaction processing platform that includes a configurable message transformation engine that facilitates integration with external systems using online messages, offline extracts and configurable services.
