BRED Bank Fiji has completed the migration of all active Visa and private-label cards in Fiji to BPC’s cloud-based SmartVista issuing platform.
The migration forms part of BRED Group’s wider modernisation of its international payment services and follows the earlier upgrade of acquiring services.
BRED Bank Fiji says the new platform will provide scalable infrastructure to support the faster launch of new card programmes and improve the consistency and security of payment services.
Customers and merchants will also benefit from broader acceptance of international cards for domestic, cross-border and e-commerce payments.
The bank says the platform supports services including contactless and multi-currency acceptance, purchase with cash-out, pre-authorisation, cash advance, tips, refunds, reversals, multi-currency settlement and digital merchant onboarding.
BRED Bank Fiji will also integrate its payment gateway into the modern platform to strengthen online payment processing and provide a faster and more secure checkout experience.
The bank has selected BPC’s AI-powered SmartVista Fraud Management solution to protect transactions across ATM, point-of-sale and e-commerce channels.
BRED Bank Fiji Deputy CEO and Chief Financial and Information Officer Pierre-Antoine Vallet says the successful migration provides the bank with a modern and scalable platform to strengthen card issuing, improve customer services and support future growth.
BPC Head of Delivery APAC Georgy Rashin says SmartVista will help BRED Group strengthen payment acceptance and deliver secure digital services across its international markets.
The next stages of the programme will include further issuing enhancements, virtual cards, cardless withdrawals, UPI card acceptance and new merchant portals.
