A large number of open banking solutions are integrated into our Quantum platform, which will allow us to accelerate the implementation of this project. Today we presented 12 API (open source) solutions through our platform. Access to them is provided in demo mode (trial)," he further said.

"So, jointly with several local payment systems, we have integrated our bank's "personal cabinet" into the hesab.az and e-pul payment systems. Via the Portmanat payment system platform, we have implemented a project that allows you to withdraw and replenish funds from the internal accounts of Bank Respublika and Portmanat In addition, the open API of our bank allows us to implement a large number of different projects," added Aliyev.
