Payer The machine was chosen to build, the digital payment solution directly into the consumer’s bank account. The solution works in combination between soldier, cloud and mobile processor. The new Pantamera app is available for both iOS and Android. Already two months later, the app has been downloaded 20,000 times.

Before using the app for the first time, the bank account is linked by the user with the mobile banking ID. This is a process that takes less than 1 minute to complete.
