Acceptance of cashless payments in Nur Sultan city buses

The transport project has been successfully finished in Nur-Sultan (Kazakhstan). MST Company’s task was to ensure acceptance of bank cards of global payment technology company MasterCard. The pilot project on paying for public transit rides with MasterCard cards started on December 18 on one of the Nur-Sultan routes which covers the Bus 32’s travel path (90 tenges per ride).

To execute the project, we had to certify cross-platform payment software JoinPOS in adherence to the requirements of TranzWare POS Terminal Protocol (TPTP) ver. 5.24 implemented in TranzWare Online 5.3.23.3.F4 Compass PLUS. Moreover, we needed to provide support of the Kazakh language and make a set of adjustments to the distribution package according to the workflow requirements.

After that, we integrated ForteBank with our payment service provider (JoinPSP). We chose ForteBank as it has been operating in the banking services market for more than 20 years, being one of the Kazakhstan’s major banks.

It was the active position of our colleagues from the Bank that helped finish the technological integration at a great pace. After that, we trained the Bank employees to handle JoinTMS (terminal management system) that controls the network of POS terminals installed on buses. Our fellows highly appraised the platform’s convenience and innovativeness.

To ensure easy installation of POS terminals on buses, we improved a mount bracket that now has several planes of freedom that allows for more passenger-friendly positioning of terminals.

A significant stage was related to ensuring transmission of bank transactions to IS Telecom’s integration bus. Speaking of, IS Telecom was the key project integrator that, jointly with Kazakh partner Citymobility, encompassed all the project’s solutions. As a result, Nur-Sultan now enjoys a cutting-edge and handy public transit ride payment method.
