The NSPK serves to ensure safety, convenience, and availability of payment cards and other electronic payment instruments provided to customers. Its objectives are to establish and develop a national payment system and ensure uninterrupted processing of transactions in Russia.
Since 2015 all domestic transactions including those made with international payment systems’ cards within Russia are being processed through the NSPK Operations and Payment Clearing Center.
As part of NSPK’s mission to develop a national payment system it was necessary to develop a data warehouse. The data warehouse system was required to handle a large amount of data and support secure large-scale data analysis and batch processing.
The data warehouse manages data from up to 100 banks providing high availability for analysis and processing of hundreds of gigabytes of data. Due to the high security and critical nature of the system NSPK were looking not only at the technical competency of the product, but also for confidence in the vendors ability to respond quickly to support requests.
