ITECBAN Cards

In this day and age, the electronic payment mode is the most international and globally extended. It comprises complex systems through which the financial intermediary provides a complete monetary service for both ends -- the payment service that is provided to the card titleholder, and the collection service that is provided to the merchant.

Since 1987, Indra has been the leader in the area of Payment and Exchange Systems, offering first-rate references such as the National Electronic Clearing System (SNCE: Sistema Nacional de Compensación Electrónica), a system through which Spanish Financial Entities perform the exchange and liquidation of a variety of payments. Indra has knowledge of the automated processes and transmission modes for the complete treatment of inter-bank operations in the SNCE. It also has experience in the SNCE's operational scheme, which is structured around various clearance subsystems: checks, transfers, indebtedness certificates, bills of exchange, travellers checks and fuel payment checks, and a variety of operations.

For the electronic information exchange, telecommunications lines are used between banks and Iberpay, and it is done through a common SNCE proprietary software that is installed in the associated entities. Since 2008, the SEPA Credit Transfer Exchange is performed from Iberpay's "Common Services Node," both between national entities as well as between the various European Clearing Houses.

This extensive experience in payment exchange systems has given us the ability to address both the Financial Payment System (International Clearing Houses such as those of Argentina and Peru, Financial Entities, etc.), as well as the Non-Financial Payment System (Transportation, Hotel Sector, Security Companies, Healthcare Compensation Centers, Airline companies, etc.). In summary, anything that entails an electronic exchange of operations, clearance, settlement and liquidation of operations with a clearing entity.
