A single FB /Google login to access most of the third-party applications? An OS that runs on phones, tablets, and desktops? A device that allows you to make audio and video calls? A universal language? And the list could go on…

If from an online store customer buys some stuff and has just a digital wallet on his mobile phone to pay. The business could use the payment switch to connect the consumer digital wallets with business users account. So, no matter what payment mode the consumer has with FinX the digital switch most of the business could provide different payment option to their consumers.
G2C Markets
In every country Government to Consumer [G2C] markets make huge efforts and investments to enhance productivity and competence by implementing e-government services, to contribute towards the socio-economic development of a country.

FinX – the payment switch is just an intelligent and reliable solution to meet the trust factors of customers and serve different firms as a switch to connect to partners via different channels.
B2B2C Markets
The beauty of B2B2C[Business to Business to Consumers] markets is that customers could reach to them via multiple channels. While serving through multiple platforms comes the challenge to cater to all customer needs in terms of payments.
