Some of the key developments and initiatives include:   The introduction of a near real-time payment platform - the Seychelles Electronic Funds Transfer system (SEFT)    The adoption of the International Bank Account Number (IBAN)    The introduction of internet banking platforms by our banks    The introduction of EMV compliant debit cards    The introduction of Mobile Money services by Airtel;    Government agencies being equipped with Point of Sale (POS) systems;  Such initiatives serve to show the willingness of different partners towards the digitising of the country’s National Payment System.
We continue to encourage others to follow suit.
