"The effort is in line with the policy to enable bank customers' access to a variety of payment services," Davoud Mohammad-Beigi, the head of CBI's Department of Payment Systems, was quoted as saying by CBI's public relations website. 
The most important payment services recently unveiled are contactless payment using smartphones and electronic wallets.
