•
PNB has adopted branchless banking model supported with smart card
based technology.
It has independent CBS setup for FI server at data centre with DRS
setup.
The management and control of whole setup is done by PNB team.
Data validation, upload and other activities are performed by exclusive
FI back Offices.
The complete system is secured with symmetric key based Key
Management System( owned and managed by Bank) as per IDRBT open
standards for FI.
Financial transaction happens at HHT only after authentication of BC
agent’s smartcard and customer’s smartcard followed by finger print
authentication.
On completion of any transaction, the HHT prompts transaction
amount and the resultant balance of the customer in local language
