Vietnamese lender TienPhong Commercial Joint Stock Bank (TPBank) has opted for BPC Banking Technologies’ SmartVista to replace its existing card solution and payments systems.

The solution will improve the bank’s capabilities in all aspects of payments such as full in house processing of ATM and POS transactions as well as improved card issuing.

In addition, the move will also enhance the bank’s mobile and internet banking service capabilities.

The alliance between the two parties will enable migration of the bank’s ATM switch and cards platform to SmartVista.

Enhanced services are expected to be available in 2015, with further roll out and enhancements scheduled by early 2016.
