ZA Bank, the first virtual bank to launch a pilot trial in Hong Kong, is to use payments software by Fiserv, a global provider of financial services technology solutions, to enhance banking experience for its customers.
ZA Bank will deploy Fiserv’s VisionPLUS global payment software, which supports the entire card payment lifecycle, including origination, card issuance, authorisation, settlement and customer service.
