With this approval, United Payment, which has been serving the region since 2021, can now offer enhanced capabilities including account opening, electronic money solutions, virtual POS services, and national and international money transactions within the legal framework.
Expanding Regional Presence
Beyond Azerbaijan, United Payment is active in Georgia, Romania, England, and Turkey. The new e-money licence will enable the company to further promote financial inclusion, expand digital payment channels, and advance cashless payment solutions in the region. As part of its expansion, United Payment is set to begin offering payment services through the Turan mobile application.
Strategic Development Goals
