Haifa Al-Ali, Application Development Manager - Last year we undertook a lot of projects; a major step taken was a B24 system migration to the latest release 6.8. Regarding our ATMs, we increased the limit on our NCR ATMs to KD500; we also enabled EMV, as well as accepting AMEX cards on all our ATMs. In collaboration with the Operations & Services department, we did the Gaspar software installation for ATM journal capturing remotely, and the certification for the installation of cameras on all ATMs. All our ATMS are now IP.
With regard to EMV compliance, we assisted three banks on issuing EMV cards by
providing them with EMV ‘Early option’ facility to validate EMV data on their behalf.We moved a number of banks to IP, rather than X.25. We are working towards changing all our links to be Triple DES encryption as per PCI requirements.
We connected to VISA and MasterCard for one bank, i.e. VISA and MasterCard have certain technical requirements and we took away the hassle of processing these transactions on behalf of the bank.
We started working on the Postilion project for Integrated POS and ATM driving. With regard to Payment Gateway, we began the process of upgrading the system which has been installed in the test environment for testing, and are aiming to move it to production by the first quarter of 2009; followed by credit card acquiring.
In addition, we also worked on the E-government project, on POS installation, and new reports; and we are testing new switches for inclusion into our network.
Ghadna’a Zeraie, Technical Support Manager -
