Jordan Kuwait Bank has entered a long-term agreement with payments and digital banking solutions provider BPC to modernise its digital channels and technology infrastructure.

The bank will consolidate its digital channels on BPC’s SmartVista platform to speed up the launch of new services and provide a more consistent experience across channels, it said.

As part of the roll-out, Jordan Kuwait Bank will migrate its digital wallet to the new platform, enabling customers to carry out daily transactions through a single platform.

The bank said the platform will also support services for small and medium-sized enterprises and merchants, including payment and settlement management, as well as data tracking and analytics through dashboards designed to support operational decision-making.

It added that merchants will be able to accept payments via smartphones and tablets without traditional point-of-sale devices, as part of efforts to expand digital payment acceptance and support financial inclusion.
