BPC Banking Technologies has partnered with Multiservice Payment System and Visa to launch a new service that allows customers to make customs payments with Visa cards.

According to BPC, the new service will streamline customs payments enrolment on the Federal Customs Service accounts, Treasury of Russia and notify the customs authorities about payments in real time mode.

Currently in operation at all the customs points in Moscow’s airports, the service will rolled out to cover the entire customs network of Russian Federation.

BPC said that the new service will enable Visa cardholders to make customs payments at the customs point instantly.

The payment processing will be fulfilled by Multiservice Payment System’s processing centre based on its solution SmartVista.

Visa Russia CEO, Andrew Torre, said: "This new system of paying by card reduces the workload on customs’ agents and reduces data errors while filling in the form. It also improves customer service as it offers a comprehensive, convenient way of payment by Visa cards and eliminates the use of cash."
