The PA’s Extreme Measures to Reward Terrorists

BPC Banking Technologies is not involved in the payment of PA terror rewards.

Last month, Palestinian Media Watch exposed that the Palestinian Authority had initiated a new system to pay its monthly terror salaries using ATM machines. PMW found that a company called BPC Banking Technologies provided the technological infrastructure used by the PA to facilitate its banking system.

Fearing that BPC was unaware of the PA’s illegitimate usage of its technologies, PMW contacted BPC. To its credit, BPC responded swiftly to PMW, updating that it had sent PMW’s report to the PA to “officially clarify” the situation. 

Having received the requested clarification, BPC provided a comprehensive response to PMW. While clearing BPC of all involvement, active or passive, in the PA scheme, BPC’s response exposed the extent to which the PA is willing to go in order to continue its “Pay-for-Slay” terror reward policy.

Alongside providing technical details of the “out-of-scope” contractual arrangement between BPC and the PA, in its response, BPC included a quote from a letter it had received from the Palestinian Monetary Authority (PMA) following PMW’s report.

According to the response, the “PMA confirmed by official response to BPC Group dated July 26th that “ATM machines installed at the post offices are not connected to the switches, banking network and any of the banks supervised and regulated by PMA”.

When the PA launched the new payment system, the PA Minister of Communications and IT Is’haq Sidr said:

“We have activated an entire banking mechanism here that is a cash management system that transfers data between us and the ATMs. We have installed 20 ATMs in the residential areas where the beneficiaries of these services are located, and Allah willing we will reach 30 ATMs in the coming days.”

When combined with the PMA answer to BPC, what this means is that the PA knew and understood that it could not use any existing banking infrastructure and that when Sidr said the PA had “activated an entire banking mechanism here that is a cash management system that transfers data between us and the ATMs,” he was speaking literally.

Instead of investing in health, education, social welfare, or other fields, the PA has clearly invested huge sums of money in order to develop a new banking program that links designated ATM cards and machines – which do not sit on the banking mainframe – to the PA accounts. The linked PA accounts must also not sit on the banking mainframe.

While the PMA answer may suffice BPC and provide it with the “plausible deniability” it needs, it would appear, once again, that the PA is literally fulfilling the promise of PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas, when he declared that if there is only one penny left in the coffers of the PA, he will spend it first on the terrorists.
