The project was completed with the support of OpenWay, ranked #1 by Gartner in digital payment software solutions and a leader in digital wallets by Ovum, whose WAY4-branded card processing solutions BMI uses.

BMI can also service NCICCS-compliant cards across its ATM and POS networks.

“Providing excellent banking services is the number one priority for BMI. We believe that the new card standard enables us to provide a higher level of cardholder protection against fraud, thus improving the customer experience and reducing bank’s losses from unauthorized transactions with stolen or lost cards. The support of the OpenWay team in the NCICCS certification process helped us to overcome technical challenges and complete the project faster”, - Saladin Effendi, Head of IT Division of Bank Muamalat Indonesia

“OpenWay has participated in national projects of different sizes, from enabling compliance with national card standards and connection to domestic payment gateways to developing and implementing end-to-end national and interbank switching platforms. We are always ready to support payment institutions in Indonesia and Asia-Pacific build secure and seamless digital payment ecosystems”, - says Rudy Gunawan, Managing Director, OpenWay Asia.
