Rapid growth demands smarter infrastructure
Over the past five years, Serfinsa has grown its customer portfolio by 5X, securing 90% of El Salvador’s acquiring banks. With this strong foundation, the company is now expanding its payment processing services into Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, markets where payment reliability and real-time analytics are critical to success.
INETCO Insight: A competitive advantage
As part of its vision to compete head-to-head with top-tier processors, Serfinsa identified the need to detect payment performance issues proactively before impacting clients, to improve diagnostics, and to perform comprehensive business reporting. The decision to adopt the INETCO Insight real-time transaction monitoring solution was based on its unique ability to:
- Monitor every transaction across POS, e-commerce channels and ATM – end-to-end and in real time – without impacting the speed of authorization
- Detect payment performance issues proactively, including transaction bottlenecks, possible failures, and declines, before they impact customers
- Decode ISO 8583 messages for full visibility into every transaction field via powerful real-time performance dashboards and business analytics
- Meet the pace of Serfinsa’s market expansion through rapid and seamless implementation
Real-time intelligence is the new currency of competitive payments. As Serfinsa scales its acquiring services across Central America, INETCO Insight gives them the operational edge to stay ahead — turning every transaction into a strategic signal that helps their customers grow faster, smarter and more securely.
