Self-Service machine to facilitate govt payments

Manama  : KeyBS, a UAE based leading technology provider for financial institutions and telecom operators, and a member of Arabi Holding Group KSC and their sole partner in Bahrain – PIE, a Bahrain based leading founders in the market providing several payment, banking, NFC and M-commerce solutions, have launched Government KIOSKs and TAM Dinar project for Government institutions here. 

The Government KIOSK, which is located at different government institutions, and at airport, is a self-service machine designed to facilitate ease of payments for Government services and act as a source of information for Bahrain residents and visitors. 

The TAM-Dinar project is an electronic payment service that eliminates cash payments at the government by a TAM-Dinar receipt dispensed from Key KIOSK “TAMhere”, allowing payments at the various government institutions with no cash interaction with government officials.

Commenting on both projects Fawaz Ghazal, CEO – Payment International Enterprise said, “The installation of self-serving machines is a first of its kind project in Bahrain as it will eliminate cash management, and reduce government operational cost; curtailing traffic and queue lines as well as reducing the cash handling and replacing them with an electronic payment channel which is available 24/7.”

“We have launched twenty facilities through the Government KIOSKs. Electricity and Water payments, Vehicle Registration renewal, traffic contravention, issuing student’s certificates are some of the amenities available on the Kiosks,” added Ghazal. 

Speaking on the partnership, Ibrahim Darraz, Managing Director – KeyBS said, “We look forward to the success of the project and expanding our solutions to other countries in the GCC and Africa market.”
