Thailand's Thanachart Bank is strengthening the point-of-sale services provided to merchants and their 30,000 terminals thanks to a new agreement with Transaction Network Services and INET.

TNS, in partnership with INET, will upgrade Thanachart Bank's merchant offerings with the TNS managed dial service, Secure Internet Gateway and Global Wireless Access products, according to a press release.

The products are intended to enable Thanachart Bank to deliver a reliable, high bandwidth payments service, which is capable of carrying a large volume of transactions quickly and securely. 

"We are delighted to be helping Thanachart Bank enhance its POS services and gain a competitive advantage within the Thai market," John Tait, managing director of TNS' FinTech Solutions business across the Asia Pacific region, said in the release. "Our partnership with INET continues to strengthen. INET's local expertise and consultancy complements our global reach and technical capabilities so together we can very effectively meet the needs of banks and merchants in Thailand."
