Premier Systems has announced a significant milestone for Pakistan’s fintech and digital economy through its subsidiary, Premier Code Pvt. Ltd., which has signed a Joint Technology Transfer and Development Agreement with Fujian Centerm Information Co. Ltd., a globally recognized leader in payment solutions. The agreement was formalized at the B2B Investment Forum in Beijing, underscoring Pakistan’s growing participation in the international fintech landscape.
This strategic partnership represents a groundbreaking step toward the local production of Point of Sale (POS) machines in Pakistan — a development that will not only enhance the country’s payment infrastructure but also drive innovation and self-reliance within the digital economy. The collaboration aims to establish a foundation for secure, end-to-end digital payment solutions developed and assembled domestically.
Fujian Centerm, known for its global expertise in secure payment systems and digital terminals, brings advanced technological know-how to the partnership. By transferring technology and development capabilities to Premier Code, the company will help localize production processes, strengthen hardware security standards, and enable Pakistan to compete in global markets.
For Pakistan, this initiative marks a turning point in its pursuit of technological independence within the financial sector. Locally manufactured POS machines will not only reduce reliance on imports but also create new economic opportunities through job creation, skill development, and export potential. The move aligns closely with national priorities to promote local manufacturing under the “Made in Pakistan” vision and build a resilient digital ecosystem that can serve the needs of banks, merchants, and consumers alike.
Premier Systems, a long-standing player in the country’s technology and enterprise solutions space, views this partnership as a step toward redefining Pakistan’s role in the global fintech supply chain. Through its subsidiary, Premier Code, the company plans to integrate international expertise with domestic innovation to produce world-class digital payment devices tailored to local market needs.
Speaking at the signing, representatives from both organizations emphasized the importance of collaborative innovation in advancing financial inclusion and digital transformation. By combining Centerm’s advanced payment technologies with Premier Code’s deep understanding of local markets, the partnership aims to deliver secure, scalable, and high-performance payment solutions.
This development positions Pakistan as an emerging center for fintech hardware manufacturing and digital payments innovation in the region. As the country continues to embrace financial technology as a key driver of economic growth, initiatives like this will play a vital role in building local capacity and fostering cross-border collaboration.
Premier Systems’ partnership with Fujian Centerm demonstrates a shared commitment to driving Pakistan’s digital transformation agenda and strengthening its fintech ecosystem — paving the way for a future where innovation and technology are made in Pakistan for the world.
