TBILISI, Georgia, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --The National Bank of Georgia (NBG), in partnership with Montran, has successfully launched its upgraded Automated Transfer System (ATS), a modernized Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) platform designed to support ISO 20022 messaging, real-time payments, 24/7 processing, and enhanced national payment infrastructure resilience, marking a major milestone in a collaboration spanning more than 25 years.
