Governor Tabaković discusses potential cooperation on instant payments with Rakuten Viber

NBS Governor Jorgovanka Tabaković met today with representatives of
the company Rakuten Viber to discuss possible avenues of cooperation in
connecting the functionalities of the Viber application and the NBS IPS
system, to the benefit of all citizens of the Republic of Serbia.

By launching the NBS IPS system in 2018, the first in the region and
among the first in the world, the NBS laid solid foundations for further
development of payment services based on instant money transfers,
positioning itself among the world leaders in terms of innovative
payment services.

Today, more than four million users of mobile banking applications in
Serbia can make instant payments in a simple, fast and secure way. The
integration of the instant payments system with advanced communication
technologies enhances the opportunities for growth and development of
the functionalities our IPS system provides to merchants, consumers and
businesses with a view to making further advances in a dynamic digital
environment.
