NIBSS and Transactility Partnership Delivers National Payment Stack

Transactility, Inc. announced that the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS), Nigeria’s central payment infrastructure operator, leveraged Transactility’s jPOS open-source technology for the rollout of the National Payment Stack (NPS), a next-generation ISO-20022 instant payments platform designed and developed by NIBSS for Nigeria’s payments ecosystem.

NIBSS designed NPS using a modular architecture that combines NIBSS-developed capabilities with selected open and enterprise technologies. NIBSS selected Transactility’s open-source stack, including the extreme-performance jPTS switch—built on jPOS, the gold standard for ISO-8583 payment processing, used in billions of transactions worldwide daily—as the foundation for the NPS.

NIBSS has used jPOS within its payment infrastructure for many years, particularly for ISO 8583 transaction processing. For the National Payment Stack, NIBSS leveraged jPTS and its newly introduced ISO-20022 support to architect a switch purpose-built for the demands of Africa’s largest economy.

With full access to the source code and the full customizability of the Transactility stack, NIBSS retains control of the NPS architecture, product roadmap, and operational development, as well as the intellectual property developed by NIBSS for the platform. The use of open, source-accessible technologies also enables NIBSS to extend the platform and respond to market and regulatory requirements without relying on a proprietary vendor’s release cycle.

“The NPS was designed and built for the scale and demands of the Nigerian payments market. The jPOS ecosystem gives us the flexibility to continue developing the platform as the ecosystem evolves.”

NPS supports account-to-account instant transfers, QR merchant payments, alias-based addressing such as phone numbers, and bulk payments.
