NSB said that the beneficiaries can register their names with mobile payment services in NSB branches or through mobile operators throughout November. Following the activation of the mobile payment service, divorced women will receive a text message containing the amount transferred to their bank account and a password. They can check out the alimony payment from the nearest branch of a mobile operator or a mobile dealer starting from December 1. The fund is intended to reach 279 thousand widowed or divorced women through 5500 NSB branches and mobile operators as well as 40 thousands mobile device dealers.
