Aricent, a global technology and services company, has announced its role in the joint development of a new mobile banking application for Pocit, a subsidiary of information technology company, Tradebridge, backed by South Africa’s Capitec Bank.

Pocit, a sister division of healthbridge, was formed as a spinoff from healthbridge’s payment solution for healthcare providers.

Developed by Aricent, the mobile component of the Pocit application, allows anyone with a credit card or bank account to make payments directly from the mobile application via a cell phone without having to know the recipient’s specific banking details. Once registered with Pocit, a user can receive, send, request and store money.

The handset application was developed on an open source framework J4ME, which was improved by Aricent’s development team over the life of the project, resulting in a flexible framework upon which more complex functionality could be added in subsequent phases, the company informed.
