The project was completed in two stages. Under the first phase, which was completed at the beginning of 2014, the bank migrated its credit and debit cards to the new system, which enabled it to quickly develop and launch new products and services in market.

The second stage of the project includes the full migration of Kenya Commercial Bank’s acquiring network including more than 350 ATMs and 3,000 POS terminals, to the TranzWare platform.

Already a principal member of both Visa and MasterCard, the lender aims to become certified in issuing and acquiring contactless cards from both international payment systems.

The bank believes that the newly integrated platform from Compass Plus will considerably enhance the system usability and minimize service and development costs.
