Scope

- The shift towards electronic payments is likely to further accelerate, with Slovenian clearing company Bankart receiving approval from Banka Slovenije (the country’s central bank) to deploy Nets’ instant payments platform. Bankart went live with the solution in February 2019. The instant payment system enables the immediate transfer of funds between accounts opened with different banks within Slovenia. The new service operates 24-hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, with each transaction expected to be settled in a maximum of 10 seconds.
- American Express has exited the Slovenian payments market and terminated its licensing agreements. As a result, all American Express cards issued by Intesa Sanpaolo Bank were terminated after December 31, 2018, and from January 1, 2019 it is no longer possible to conduct transactions with American Express cards.
- To benefit from the growing preference for alternative payments, banks and payment service providers are launching new payment services, with the latest being the October 2018 launch of mobile wallet app mBills by Germany-based payment solution provider Wirecard (in association with Slovenian energy company Petrol). The app can be used to make both in-store and online payments as well as P2P money transfers. Using the Mastercard debit card issued by Wirecard and connected to the mobile wallet, app users can make payments at 1,500 locations in Slovenia. Earlier in March 2018, NLB launched its NLB Pay mobile wallet, allowing users to make contactless in-store payments.
