1. PCHC wishes to thank all Authorized Agent Banks (AABs) for participating in the User Acceptance Tests (UAT)
conducted for the migration of Payment Application Secure Version 5 (PAS5) to of Payment Application Secure
Version 6 (PAS6).
2. The comments, inputs and suggestions received during the UAT period are well appreciated and indeed very
helpful in finalizing the PAS6 application specifications. We are happy to inform that PCHC has successfully
incorporated the necessary modifications to the PAS6 based on your feedback together with the suggestions
made by the Bureau of Customs during this activity.
