Aditiva recently started to use NATS inside solutions for financial institutions that are our customers. In this blog entry, you can learn more about Aditiva, some of our products, and how we use NATS in delivering these solutions for financial institutions.

Aditiva provides a High Performance Financial Transactional Platform (Aditiva EFT),that integrates Financial Institutions’ Core Systems, with 3rd party networks. For example, Financial Institution Customers execute different Financial Transactions using Plastic Cards from ATMs and POS networks; these generate ISO 8583 transaction messages, that are captured and routed to authorization services provided by the Aditiva EFT Platform installed on Financial Institution premises or on the Issuer side, and it is managed and supported by Aditiva.

Card holders for financial institutions can also drive the processing of financial transactions on their accounts, using the Plastic Cards at Teller instances on Financial Institution Nationwide branches networks using Aditiva EFT Teller application.

Customers Account Managers use the Aditiva EFT Card Management Intranet Platform, to manage the inventory of plastic cards distributed to branches assign plastic cards to customers and activate the plastic card with chips, allowing customers operate on Financial Networks.
