Skopje, 9 June 2009
Press release of the NBRM
The National Bank of the Republic of Macedonia, on May 4, 2009, started implementing the agreement with MasterCard International Incorporated on national (domestic) settlement of cash-free payments in the trading network in the Republic of Macedonia and cash withdrawals from banks or ATMs using MasterCard (debit and credit cards) issued by the commercial banks in the Republic of Macedonia.
The national (domestic) settlement should contribute towards reducing the costs of the commercial banks for this type of transactions, which would eventually result in lower costs for the service providers in the trading network. Benefit from the introduction of the national (domestic) settlement in the Republic of Macedonia is the expected increase in the number of POS terminals in the trading network in the Republic of Macedonia, and consequently, less currency in circulation, which would indirectly reduce the total payment operations costs in the Republic of Macedonia.
