BS/2, which belongs to the company group Penki kontinentai, together with the long-term partner Russian company Gamma Centras, have adapted the Payments^.iQ solution for SID safe-deposit box management. It helped expand the functionality of technical equipment and offer additional services to the customers, so they can use money deposit device independently, without the help of the bank personnel.

SID (Small Intelligent Deposit) safes are technical devices for automated banknote deposit and storing cash in plastic packages. Main advantages of these safe-deposit boxes are: fast recalculation and deposit of banknotes, safe storage of cash in a break-in proof safe-deposit box, protection against counterfeit banknotes, and convenient access to the safe-deposit box for money collection.

According to Pavel Drobinov, the manager of BS/2 Business development department, Payments^.iQ software product not only helps collect deposits from the devices, but also provides many additional advantages.

“Payments^.iQ helps collect payments from end-users, who are using bank cards and cash: various cash transfers to bank accounts, utility payments, etc. Also, this solution, which is applicable to equipment provided by different manufacturers, can optimize payment processes, reduce costs and ensure better protection and control. It also allows centralized management of the terminal electronic application system – any additional service is automatically integrated in the entire terminal network”, says P. Drobinov.

According to the expert, Payments^.iQ is deployed in the existing terminal networks of banks, trade companies and other businesses, without changing the established mechanism of their functioning. The solution belongs to the family of .iQ products, therefore the banks, which already use SmartSafe^.iQ system for automated safe-deposit box management, will be able to easily expand the network of usable devices, without performing additional complex system deployment jobs.
