The bank has successfully expanded its system capacity to handle over 700,000 transactions per second, with 10 million people completing registration within 23 minutes.
Compared to the previous registration round, which took 30 minutes to register 5 million people, this round achieved double the registrations in less time—10 million people in 23 minutes.

The initiative aims to reduce costs and maintain purchasing power during economic recovery.
Eligible citizens can check their program benefits through the state welfare card system.
