A mobile application may be downloaded and tagged to the card holder account where the user can enter the number of the recipient. In its turn, the recipient would have to download the application and pay via smartphone or take cash at ATMs by using NFS (network file system). In Ukraine, the service is available at POS-terminals accepting contactless payments, as ATMs supporting NFS are too few in the country of the new technology.

The date of launching has not been announced, as of yet. And the application will be available for Androids and iOS.
