ÖSYM Payment System

With payment infrastructure provided by Innova, ÖSYM accepts 300 thousand applications from 6 thousand different points in the same day

The Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), which was established in 1974, launched a new service in 2006 with a new technology infrastructure that allows Candidate Registration procedures to be made over the internet. However, the examination fees of the students were still collected by the old methods. The offline connection between the banks and ÖSYM was slowing down the fast registration process, and problems occurred during registrations due to some manual operations. ÖSYM started to seek a way to shorten the application process in order to provide a better quality service to the applicants and to minimize the time loss in the busy schedule. Turkey’s leading technology company Innova was awarded the public procurement tender for online payment system.

Within the scope of the implementation of Innova payment system applications, four banks with the most wide network in Turkey were selected in the first stage of the project. It was ensured that the data coming from different banks were standardized in a way that ÖSYM could process without delay. With mutual certification between the banks and ÖSYM, the payments were ensured to be realized without any problems. All necessary work in order to add a new bank to the system was performed and the infrastructure of the identification process was prepared.

With this project that was implemented within a very short period of time, it was possible for candidates to complete their registration within the same day by paying their registration fees.
