SBI Engages Opus Software Solutions To Power ATM/ PoS Network

Opus Software Solutions, a provider of software solutions to the payments industry, has signed a $10 million deal with State Bank of India (SBI) to replace their existing ATM platform with electraSWITCH. This deal with State Bank Of India (SBI) will power 25,000 ATMs, 500,000 PoS devices and kiosks and authorise 80 million debit cards by next year; and these numbers are expected to double (including ATMs) by 2014, making this the largest installation in the world.

Migration of ATMs has already commenced and would be complete in six to eight months, making this the fastest migration of an EFT Switch of this scale across the world.

Opus is implementing this solution through its wholly-owned subsidiary - ElectraCard Services. Opus is also providing other solutions from its electra suite to enable SBI to implement ‘go-to-market’ strategies quickly and deliver value-added services to its customers.
