CTC Malaysia and Cardzone Partners to Launch Cloud Based Next-Gen Digital Payment Solution

Date : 3-Sep-2019
Location: Kuala Lumpur

Key Takeaways:
  • Cardzone is first Malaysian partner on CTC Malaysia’s CUVIC Cloud targeting financial institutions and enterprises in the payment space regionally
  • Partnership combines Cardzone’s next-generation payment solution and CTC Malaysia’s CUVIC Cloud infrastructure and managed services; enables customers to adopt the new technology to accelerate digital transformation and go-to-market initiatives
  • For companies running legacy systems in the digital age of mobile apps and social media, operating and maintaining these systems are increasingly costly - These challenges can be addressed with Cardzone’s comprehensive payment suite which includes multi-channel financial switching for acquiring of transactions from all channels like ATM, POS, e-Commerce and m-Commerce (including credit/debit cards, Internet, e-wallets QR code), and others.
  • Cardzone has developed and tested its payment solutions on CUVIC Cloud, successfully showcasing high compute performance levels equivalent – or better – than high-end systems, achieving an impressive 400 authorization transactions per second for 10 million accounts.
  • Currently, both companies are working together to introduce third-party payment processing (TPP) so that Cardzone’s payment solution on CTC’s CUVIC Cloud (On Prem) is highly secured and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) certified, to customers in Malaysia and across the region. For smaller banks and other financial service providers, instead of investing in capital-intensive IT Infrastructure for payment processing, this TPP service delivers the cost benefits of “Software as a Service” to them.
