Gazprombank and the Pobeda network launched online collection and payment for goods through SBP

Gazprombank and the Pobeda retail chain successfully implemented a comprehensive solution for working with cash revenue. The first stage of the project was the introduction of online collection. The company's introduction to the product began in 2021, when pilot automated deposit machines were installed in four of the retailer's stores. After a successful test period, it was decided to equip more than 350 ADM Gazprombank retail outlets.

The joint project of the bank and the discount chain to implement the Bank of Russia's fast payment system (FPS) began this year. In the first quarter, 2,600 branded NFC tags were manufactured for the company and gradual connection of stores began. The project was completed in the second quarter of 2024. To make the purchasing process as convenient as possible for both customers and store employees, the developed payment mechanism was fully automated. Customers will be able to pay for purchases quickly, conveniently and, most importantly, safely.

“Transaction solutions related to the processing of cash proceeds are increasingly in demand by our corporate clients. Gazprombank keeps up with the times, offering the market relevant services that allow companies to solve their business problems, and in some cases they are ahead of the market. We are especially pleased that such an effective company as the Pobeda retail chain highly appreciated our services. We are currently working on a number of new projects aimed at managing payment discipline and treasury automation. It is very important for us to act as a provider of transaction services for the Pobeda trading network and develop long-term partnerships,” said Natalya Zakharova, executive vice president and head of the department for structuring and sales of transaction products at Gazprombank.

“ We see optimization of work processes in the use of online collection technology. The store employee does not waste time checking authenticity, counting banknotes, filling out a special form, etc. Online collection saves approximately 45-50 minutes, which store personnel can spend on their main work. Plus, technology allows you to avoid errors caused by human factors. And for the convenience of customers, we have also introduced the use of a fast payment system in our stores,” commented Daniil Sikachin, general director of the Pobeda retail chain.
