Grigoriy Roginsky, Chief Project Officer at Pri-Num, commented: “Modern technologies urge us to take on new approaches to daily tasks, especially in the realm of payments and banking. A modern technology-packed smartphone fast becomes the main payment tool that also solves all the security issues. Therefore, tokenization of the sensitive data in a secure, fast manner to be used within a mobile app is the solution. We are pleased to be able to provide Raiffeisen Bank customers in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a secure payment tool for contactless payments that can be used with a minimum of effort, simply by tapping the smartphone over the POS terminal.”

m-plati is a comfortable and easy method for contactless payments for purchases that work with any contactless-enabled terminals. Customers of Raiffeisen Bank BiH with a Visa card will now be able to make contactless payments with a tap of a smartphone.

Payment can be confirmed by fingerprint making m-plati the first solution in the region using biometric recognition methods.

The app is also offers a variety of settings that can be made by users, including choosing the app language, payment mode, default card and viewing transaction history. m-plati makes use of the tokenization technology accepted as a worldwide standard for secure digital payments and is attaining traction globally.
