MasterCard uses the most modern technologies to ensure maximum security of payments (transactions), and contactless payments via Apple Pay have the highest level of security.

In addition, it was reported that holders of MasterCard credit and taxit cards issued in Azerbaijan will be able to make payments in installments in Turkey.

It also became known this week that when making payments via Apple Pay, all information about the holder of a bank card is tokenized and transmitted to the processing center in encrypted form. It was also reported that MasterCard is constantly bringing its payment instruments in line with international standards.

In addition, it was noted that all holders of MasterCard cards, which will be issued in Azerbaijan from the middle of next year, will be able to make purchases in installments.

Also, this week companies from Novosibirsk announced readiness to participate in the digitalization of the infrastructure of cities and villages in Azerbaijan, to contribute to the development of this area and to carry out works on landscaping. It was noted that the technologies of these companies will help to carry out reconstruction work without any damage to the appearance of certain historical objects in the cities and villages of Azerbaijan.

In addition, this week it was reported that it is planned to allocate nine million manats ($5.3 million) from the state budget of Azerbaijan for the transition to the government "cloud" (G-Cloud). The funds will be used to purchase appropriate licenses, create a G-Cloud and technical support for structures already connected to the system, as well as other operations.
