BNA implements mobile and instant transfer system this year

A system of mobile and instant transfers will be implemented, this year, across the country, by the National Bank of Angola (BNA). José de Lima Massano, governor of the BNA, indicated that the ambition is “to give greater security and efficiency to payment systems, but also to increase levels of financial inclusion”.

"We intended to bring greater security and efficiency to payment systems, but also to increase levels of financial inclusion with new and more affordable payment solutions," he began by saying.

Cited by Rádio Nacional de Angola (RNA), the governor of the central bank thus highlighted "the development of mobile payments, which already have around one million subscribers throughout the national territory".

He also classified the mobile and instant transfer system as "another important step" for the development of the country's financial system.

"We have already ensured the interoperability of the mobile and instant transfer system. In other words, it will already be possible to carry out transactions between different platforms for the provision of mobile payment services, something very similar to the operation of debit cards in the multi-cash network in which the operations are carried out independently of the card issuing bank. This is another important step in the development of our financial system and in the increase of financial citizenship," he said.

The creation and implementation of the system will be the responsibility of EMIS.

"The BNA defined standardization pillars for a system of instant transfers and not of mobile payments, and for this purpose, entrusted EMIS to develop and implement a market platform that operationalizes instant transfers in Angola", revealed Joaquim Caniço, executive director of the EMIS, also cited by RNA.

According to the official, the platform will be implemented later this year and will "enable interoperability between the services of payment service providers licensed by the BNA", being "possible to extend financial services to citizens who are not yet banked".

He also clarified that instant mobile transfers are quick and immediate: "The transfer of funds between participants is immediate, the end user can use the funds immediately".
