Moreover, the bank has strengthened its information security policies, operational procedures, software systems, and network infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted and reliable operations.

It was developed collaboratively by leading payment networks including American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, Mastercard Worldwide, and Visa International, all members of the PCI Security Standards Council.

TransBank’s implementation of internationally compliant upgrades in its operations to ensure the security of its customers has further strengthened the trust and value it provides to its clients and the financial sector, reaffirming its position as a reliable provider of financial services.

China introduced CIPS in 2015 to internationalize the yuan, enhance its circulation, and securely process payments. Backed by the People’s Bank of China, CIPS provides clearing and settlement services for crossworder yuan transactions.
FEATURES OF THE CIPS SYSTEM
- Speed and Convenience: CIPS enables real-time settlement of CNY payments, allowing transfers to be executed faster and more efficiently than ever before.
- Interbank Collaboration: CIPS enables seamless CNY transactions through its network of 169 direct participant banks and financial institutions, connecting with globally recognized entities.

Commercial banks operating in Mongolia are gradually transitioning to the internationally recognized IBAN (International Bank Account Number) system in accordance with global standards. As part of this upgrade, TransBank will implement the IBAN account numbering system starting from April 1, 2025. This change will enable customers to use IBAN account numbers when conducting interbank transfers, and all interbank transactions will be required to use IBAN numbers. However, the use of IBAN account numbers will not be mandatory for transfers between TransBank accounts.
This update aims to enhance the security, speed, and reliability of transactions.
What is IBAN?
IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a standardized account numbering system consisting of 20 characters, recognized under the international ISO 13616–1 and ISO 13616–2 standards. It provides a unified coding system for interbank transfers and includes information such as the recipient’s country and bank code.

The implementation of the IBAN system represents not only a technological upgrade but also a significant step towards aligning Mongolia’s banking sector with international standards, making banking services more accessible, reliable, and faster.
