Electronic Payplus Limited, Nigeria’s foremost Smart Card Production Company and Payment Solution Provider, has announced its membership of the International Card Manufacturers Association (ICMA).

With more than 200 members in 43 countries, ICMA has been the voice of the card manufacturing industry for nearly 30 years.
