PEX’s EMV compliant systems ensure that the banks can offer their clients and partners with a world-class transaction security and data traceability. For instance, PEX recently collaborated with the ABC Banking Corporation and UnionPay International to launch a Diamond debit card that would allow the high- end customers to enjoy secure and technically sophisticated banking experiences along with access to exclusive privileges. “In addition to this, PEX has also achieved the feat of building their own payment gateway that is leveraged by banks and payment service providers for e-commerce processing and to acquire merchants’ processing. On the acquiring side, PEX enables banks to acquire transactions from the ATMs, the Point-of-Sale, and e-commerce applications and provide end customers with an omnichannel experience. The firm has developed their own mobile POS solution which is VISA, Mastercard, and UPI-certified and features switching, transaction authorization, and fraud prevention, and instantly certifies a bank’s project.” Enabling the firm to deliver these impeccable services, is experienced, innovative and hard-working team which forms the backbone of PEX.
