FirstNigra bank also has around 100 corporate houses, who pay their employees wedges and other expenses, apart from that they receive money on behalf of the product and
services provided by them.
BACS Implementation
FirstNigra bank does not have proper infrastructure and skilled workforce to handle these transactions and associated processes. For that, they have to tie up with one PSP in the
UK.
For handling this transaction and process, PSP have service charges. This increases the operational cost FirstNigra, apart from that they also realize that, for their customers, it
little more time-consuming than usual, in comparison of their other competitor, who is equipped with handling the bulk number of transactions by own.
Overall this process is time-consuming, having high operational cost, and not user-friendly due to which FirstNigra bank started losing its customer day by day.
First Nigra bank is looking for a solution so that they can directly connect with the central bank and handle these transactions by own. By doing this he wants to reduce the
operational cost and improve customer satisfaction.
