Premier Systems has announced a significant milestone in Pakistan’s digital and financial technology landscape as its subsidiary, Premier Code Pvt. Ltd., signed a Joint Technology Transfer and Development Agreement with Fujian Centerm Information Co. Ltd., a global leader in payment and financial solutions. The signing took place at the B2B Investment Forum in Beijing, representing a step forward for Pakistan’s participation in high-value technology development and the localization of advanced digital infrastructure.
The agreement focuses on the development and local assembly of Pakistan’s first Point of Sale (POS) machines, enabling secure, end-to-end digital payment solutions built within the country. This move aims to boost local production capacity, reduce dependence on imported devices, and encourage indigenous technological growth. By localizing the technology, Premier Systems and Premier Code are creating pathways for greater competitiveness in the fintech ecosystem while aligning with Pakistan’s broader goals of digital transformation and economic self-sufficiency.
Through this collaboration, Pakistan’s fintech sector is set to gain new momentum in advancing secure payment ecosystems that can cater to both domestic and international markets. The initiative will not only enhance the availability of modern payment infrastructure but will also encourage innovation among local technology firms. With Fujian Centerm’s extensive expertise in global payment systems and Premier Code’s understanding of the local market, the partnership is expected to foster sustainable growth and attract further investment into Pakistan’s technology sector.
Premier Systems’ continued focus on strengthening Pakistan’s position in the digital economy underlines its commitment to innovation and local empowerment. The collaboration is expected to contribute significantly to job creation, skill development, and capacity building within the country’s tech workforce. Moreover, by establishing local assembly for POS terminals, the initiative aligns with national priorities of promoting technology-driven exports and supporting fintech inclusion across sectors.
This development at the Beijing Investment Forum demonstrates the potential of strategic technology partnerships in driving economic collaboration between Pakistan and international companies. It also reflects the growing recognition of Pakistan’s capacity to engage in advanced technology manufacturing and software development. Premier Systems’ efforts through Premier Code are a step toward building a sustainable and competitive digital infrastructure that can support financial inclusion and contribute to the long-term growth of Pakistan’s fintech ecosystem.
