Falë avancimit të legjislacionit nga Banka Qendrore e Kosovës, IBAS ka filluar dhënien e numrit ndërkombëtar të llogarisë bankare (IBAN) për individët, bizneset dhe OJQ. Të gjithë IBAN që lëshohen nga IBAS janë pa pagesë të mirëmbajtjes dhe ofrojnë pranimin ose dërgimin e parave në cilëndo llogari bankare brenda apo jashtë vendit. Krahas llogarisë bankare të Kosovës, IBAS vazhdon të lëshojë edhe numër të llogarisë bankare britaneze, përmes së cilës të gjthë poseduesit mund të kenë qasje në SEPA (Single European Payment Area) që mundëson pranimin ose dërgimin e parave nga ose për në Evropë brenda sekondave dhe një tarifë prej vetëm tre (3) euro, për çfarëdo shume. Për më tepër, IBAS vazhdon të ofrojë kredi ose mbitërheqje për pagesa me afat kthimi deri në 12 muaj dhe modelin “Bli Tani e Paguaj më Vonë” ose BNPL, me interes 0% për tre (3) muaj.

Këto janë vetëm disa nga zhvillimet dhe mundësitë që IBAS ka ofruar për klientët e vetë. Me të njëjtën dinamikë do të vazhdojë edhe me zhvillime të reja dhe zgjidhje atraktive për klientë. Kushdo që vonohet të jetë klient i yni do ta humbas një përvojë të veçantë. E për ty që ke vendosë, kjo është vegza e portës https://ibas.world/join-ibas/ se ndoshta IBAS ka vendosë ta bëjë një surprizë për ty 😊.

Shpesh kemi përjetuar situata të bezdisshme kur duhet të kryejmë një pagesë në një institucion publik ose privat dhe gjendemi në një situatë ku, ose nuk kemi mundësi pagese elektronike, ose nuk kemi para të gatshme, ose nuk i kemi informatat e nevojshme për të kryer pagesën përmes bankimit elektronik (eBanking) ose bankimit mobil (mBanking). Për të eliminuar situata të tilla, IBAS ka sjellë teknologjinë e fundit: Pass-through eWallet. Nuk ka një të dytë, as në Kosovë e as në Ballkanin Perëndimor.

Çfarë është në të vërtetë Pass-through eWallet?

Viteve të fundit kemi dëgjuar shumë për eWallet ose kuletat elektronike. Një kuletë elektronike ofrohet nga institucione financiare, të licencuara nga rregullatorët e vendeve të operimit dhe ofrojnë shërbimin e emetimit dhe/ose mbajtjes së parave elektronike në një llogari pagese, prej së cilës, më pastaj me inicimin dhe konfirmimin e mbajtësit të saj kryhen pagesa për palë të treta, të sektorit publik ose privat, apo edhe transferimit tek një person privat. Parakusht për realizimin e pagesave të tilla është emetimi paraprak i parasë elektronike në një pikë fizike të institucionit financiar, dërgimi i parave nga një llogari bankare, ose mbushja e kuletës elektronike përmes kartelave të Visa ose Mastercard. Pra, një transaksion ose pagesë kryhej në dy cikle të ndryshme – 1) emetimi i parave në kuletën elektronike ose mbushja paraprake e kuletës elektronike dhe 2) inicimi dhe konfirmimi i pagesës për përfituesin e përzgjedhur. Por, me lansimin e inovacionit Pass-through eWallet nga IBAS, mënyra paraprake mbetet primitive. Kjo, sepse tashmë teknologjia e IBAS ju mundëson të kryeni pagesa elektronike edhe pa emetuar ose mbushur kuletën tuaj elektronike me para. Me Pass-through eWallet të IBAS ju mund të kryeni pagesë ose transfere direkt nga kartela juaj e Visa ose Mastercard. Për më tepër, falë mundësive ligjore që ofron Ligji 03/L-196, nuk keni nevojë të krijoni identitetin digjital. Por, kjo nuk është mundësia e vetme. Përmes teknologjisë së IBAS ju mund të kryeni pagesë edhe nëse nuk keni para në kartelën tuaj të Visa ose Mastercard. Këtë ua mundësojnë një nga tre llogaritë e “Blej Tani e Paguaj më Vonë” që i ofron IBAS.

Eksploroni fuqinë e Pass-through eWallet dhe shijoni lirinë e të qenit në kontroll të financave tuaja, pa stresin e mungesës së fondeve kur ju nevojiten më së shumti. Vizitoni faqen tonë të internetit https://ibas.world/join-ibas/ dhe krijoni llogarinë për të kryer pagesa në cilindo institucion publik, kurdo që keni nevojë.

Gjatë ngjarjes, ambasadori amerikan, z.Hovenier, nënvizoi marrëdheniet e forta ekonomike mes kompanive kosovare dhe Shteteve të Bashkuara, duke theksuar rëndësinë e tyre në panair.

Profesionistë dhe figura kyçe nga sektorë të ndryshëm shprehën interes të madh për shërbimet e avancuara të ofruara nga IBAS.

Pjesëmarrësit patën rastin të njihen më nga afër me shërbimin e kredive me nënshkrim elektronik dhe të eksplorojnë mënyrat se si IBAS mund të ndihmojë në lehtësimin dhe përmirësimin e menaxhimit të financave personale. Në këtë mënyrë, IBAS vazhdon të ndjekë misionin e vet për të ofruar zgjidhje inovative dhe efikase që u përgjigjen nevojave të tregut të Kosovës dhe më gjerë.

AmCham Expo Space u shënua si një sukses i madh, duke theksuar rëndësinë e partneriteteve dhe inovacioneve për përparimin e sektorit të financave dhe shërbimeve bankare.

IBAS, me përkushtimin e tij ndaj përmirësimit të përvojës së klientit dhe integrimit të teknologjive të reja, konfirmon pozitën e tij si lider i inovacioneve dhe industrinë financiare në Kosovë, e përtej.

Në tregun konkurrues të sotëm, kompanitë janë vazhdimisht në kërkim të mënyrave për t’u rritur. Një mundësi e rritjes së kapitalit është përmes emetimit të obligacioneve. Sidoqoftë, deri më sot, kjo formë e financimit, në Kosovë nuk i është mundësuar biznesit privat. Kjo në mungesë të legjislacionit për tregjet e kapitalit. Por, kjo nuk i ndalon bizneset që emetimin e obligacioneve ta bëjnë në Evropë, përkatësisht në Angli, aty ku tregjet e kapitalit janë të rregulluara dhe mbikëqyrura. IBAS, si institucion i licencuar nga Banka Qendrore e Kosovës për Këshilltar të Investimeve mund të ju ndihmojë në këtë drejtim.

Disa nga përfitimet e emetimit të obligacioneve:

1. Qasja në fonde: Emetimi i obligacioneve u siguron kompanive një fluks të menjëhershëm të qarkullimit, pa shitur aksione ose pa humbur kontrollin mbi kompaninë. Kjo mënyrë e financimit mund të përdoret për një sërë qëllimesh, duke përfshirë financimin e projekteve të reja, të rris mundësinë e blerjes së mallrave/shërbimeve për qarkullim, shtimin/zgjerimin e objekteve a aseteve, ose ri financimin e borxhit ekzistues.
2. Pagesat e interesit fiks: Ndryshe nga kreditë bankare ose instrumentet tjera kredituese bankare, obligacionet zakonisht vijnë me pagesa fikse të interesit. Kjo parashikueshmëri i lejon kompanitë të menaxhojnë më mirë fluksin e parasë dhe buxhetimin e tyre, pavarësisht nga luhatjet në normat e interesit.
3. Baza e larmishme e investitorëve: Obligacionet tërheqin një gamë të gjerë investitorësh, duke përfshirë investitorët institucionalë, fondet e pensioneve dhe investitorët individualë që kërkojnë kthime të qëndrueshme. Duke shfrytëzuar këtë bazë të larmishme investitorësh, kompanitë potencialisht mund të sigurojnë kushte më të favorshme për financimin e tyre.
4. Fleksibiliteti afatgjatë: Obligacionet mund të emetohen me një shumëllojshmëri maturimesh, duke filluar nga obligacionet afatshkurtra (më pak se një vit) deri tek obligacionet afatgjata (deri në 30 vjet ose më shumë). Ky fleksibilitet u lejon kompanive të përshtasin financimin e tyre sipas nevojave të projekteve ose iniciativave specifike.
5. Profili i përmirësuar i kredisë: Emetimi me sukses i obligacioneve mund të përmirësojë profilin e kreditit të një kompanie dhe të përmirësojë gjendjen e përgjithshme financiare. Kjo mund të rezultojë në kosto më të ulëta të huamarrjes në të ardhmen dhe rritje të qasjes në burime të ndryshme të kapitalit.
   

Obligacione pa kolateral

Obligacionet e pasiguruara (pa kolateral), të njohura gjithashtu si obligacione, nuk janë të lidhura me ndonjë aktiv specifik, ndryshe nga obligacionet e siguruara, të cilat mbështeten nga aktive ose kolateral specifik. Në vend të kësaj, investitorët mbështeten vetëm në aftësinë kreditore dhe reputacionin e kompanisë emetuese.

Disa nga përparësitë e obligacioneve të pasiguruara:

Kërkesat më të ulëta të kolateralit: Emetimi i obligacioneve të pasiguruara eliminon nevojën që kompanitë të lënë peng asete specifike si kolateral. Kjo mund të jetë veçanërisht e dobishme për kompanitë me asete të kufizuara ose ato që kërkojnë të ruajnë fleksibilitetin e tyre për kreditimet e ardhshme.

1. Kërkesat më të ulëta të kolateralit: Emetimi i obligacioneve të pasiguruara eliminon nevojën që kompanitë të lënë peng asete specifike si kolateral. Kjo mund të jetë veçanërisht e dobishme për kompanitë me asete të kufizuara ose ato që kërkojnë të ruajnë fleksibilitetin e tyre për kreditimet e ardhshme.
2. Lehtësi më e madhe për investitorë: Obligacionet e pasiguruara janë më të lehta për investitorët, sepse ata nuk kanë nevojë të merren me vlerësim kolaterali ose me vënien peng gë tij. Kjo sigurisht që ndikon në çmimin e obligacioneve. Megjithatë, emetimi i këtij llojit të obligacioneve është i lidhur ngusht me aftësinë paguese të kompanisë që i emeton ato.
3. Fleksibiliteti në menaxhimin e aseteve: Duke zgjedhur obligacione të pasiguruara, kompanitë ruajnë fleksibilitet më të madh në menaxhimin e aseteve dhe operacioneve të tyre. Financimi i tyre nuk varet me disponueshmërinë e kolateralit dhe aftësinë e lënies peng.
4. Ndërtimi i besimit dhe i reputacionit: Emetimi i suksesshëm i obligacioneve të pasiguruara tregon besim në fuqinë financiare të kompanisë. Kjo mund të rrisë besimin e investitorëve në menaxhimin e kompanisë, duke çuar në marrëdhënie më të forta afatgjata dhe qasje të vazhdueshme në tregjet e kapitalit.

Si përfundim, emetimi i obligacioneve, veçanërisht i obligacioneve të pasiguruara, paraqet një mundësi të jashtëzakonshme për kompanitë që të rrisin kapitalin, të diversifikojnë bazën e tyre të investitorëve dhe të forcojnë pozicionin e tyre financiar. Duke marrë parasysh me kujdes përfitimet dhe propozimin e vlerës së emetimit të obligacioneve, kompanitë mund të hapin rrugë të reja për rritje dhe inovacion duke maksimizuar vlerën e aksionerëve.

Nëse ju vlerësoni se obligacionet mund ta rrisin fuqinë dhe konkurrueshmërinë e biznesit tuaj, na kontaktoni për të mësuar më shumë rreth këtyre mundësive.

In a significant outreach effort, PBC Group, alongside its innovative financial services platform IBAS, recently visited the University of Pristina to engage and educate the students about the remarkable world of financial services. This educational endeavor was a part of the ongoing commitment of PBC Group to share its expertise with the academic community.

Among the gems of the PBC Group family, he emphasized IBAS, an innovative banking and attractive solution financial services platform, the British College of Science by PBC Academy, VERPO, rTrust, a marketing referral platform, and MARK, their newest marketing agency.

The students of the second-year Marketing Department at the University of Prishtina were in for a treat as the CEO of IBAS, Mr. Hajdari, took the stage to provide an in-depth exploration of the services offered by this groundbreaking platform.

The visit to the University of Pristina was more than just a lecture; it was a unique opportunity for students to gain valuable insights into the ever-evolving fields of financial services and marketing. As the world of business and commerce continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, such interactions between industry experts and the academic community play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between theory and real-world application.

PBC Group’s visit to the University of Pristina not only enriched the students’ understanding of the financial landscapes but also inspired them to explore the endless possibilities and opportunities that await them in the industry. This remarkable initiative served as a reminder of the importance of knowledge sharing and collaboration between educational institutions and industry leaders.

What are commercial receipts?
A commercial paper is a short-term, unsecured debt instrument issued by businesses. It is usually used to finance short-term obligations such as wages, accounts payable, and inventory or goods for sale (Baklanova, et al., 2020).

The commercial receipt specifies an amount of money that must be returned by a certain date (maturity). The minimum value of commercial receipts is usually $100,000, while maturity or repayment terms range from 1 to 270 days (Baklanova, et al., 2020). On average, the turnaround time is 30 days (Hayes, 2022).

How do commercial receipts work?
The commercial paper was first introduced about 150 years ago, when New York merchants began selling their short-term obligations to brokers in order to have sufficient capital to cover short-term obligations.

Selling agents, or brokers, buy the paper (also known as a bill of exchange) at a discount from face value, otherwise known as the “Par” value. They then sold the paper to banks and other investors. Traders paid investors an amount equal to the face value. For example, they would take a commercial receipt for a few percent less and sell it for the value described on the receipt.

A commercial paper is not backed by any form of collateral, making it unsecured debt. It differs from asset-backed commercial paper, a class of debt instruments secured by assets chosen by the issuer (Hayes, 2022). However, it remains at the discretion of the parties to the transaction how they wish to handle and secure their contractual relationship.

In any case, commercial receipts are issued only by companies with high ratings from credit rating agencies (Hayes, 2022). These companies can find buyers easily, without having to offer a significant discount for issuing debt. Buyers of commercial receipts are usually other corporations, financial institutions and wealthy individuals (Baklanova, et al., 2020).

Types of commercial receipts
There are four types of commercial receipts: bills, drafts, checks, and certificates of deposit (CDs) (Hayes, 2022).

Bills of exchange
Promissory notes are debt instruments written by one party to another, promising to pay a specified amount of money by a specified date. Bills of exchange are a common way of issuing commercial receipts.

Drafts
A draft is a written agreement between three parties: a bank, a payee and a payee. The bank instructs the issuer of the commercial receipt to pay the lender (payee) a specified amount of money at a specified time. A draft is a written agreement between three parties: a bank, a payee, and a payee. The bank instructs the issuer of the commercial receipt to pay the lender (beneficiary) a specified amount of money at a specified time.

Checks
Checks are paid at the bank’s request, not by time. They are the fastest way to issue commercial receipts. For this type of commercial receipt, the issuing company instructs the bank to give the recipient a certain amount of money at a certain point in time.

Certificates of deposits
Certificates of deposit are monetary documents through which the bank claims to have received a sum of money deposited by an investor. The bank agrees to return this money as well as interest at a certain time in the future. The certificate specifies the interest rate and maturity date.

Advantages of commercial receipts
The main advantage of commercial paper is that they do not need to be registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), as long as the maturity does not exceed 270 days. This makes them a simple means of financing. Although maturities can take up to 270 days before entering the SEC’s jurisdiction, commercial paper maturities average about 30 days (Hayes, 2022).

The trade receipt is also easier to handle, compared to the effort, time and money involved in getting a business loan. It offers issuers the advantage of lower interest rates, while offering investors a low risk of default. Trading receipts provide an effective way of portfolio diversification.

Shortcomings of commercial receipts
Companies must have extremely good credit (credit) to issue commercial receipts. So, not all businesses have the option of issuing them. Furthermore, the proceeds from this type of financing can only be used for current assets or inventories. They are not allowed to be used for fixed assets without the involvement of the SEC (Hayes, 2022).

Low interest rates for issuers mean low rates of return for investors. Also, due to their considerable value, receipts tr

equity is not readily available to smaller investors. However, they can invest indirectly through companies that buy commercial paper.

Commercial receipts versus bonds
Both are debt instruments. However, there are important differences between them. Commercial receipts have a maturity of one to 270 days, while bonds have a maturity of one to 30 years (CFI Team, 2022)

The commercial receipt has no periodic payments. Everything is paid in one payment at maturity (Hayes, 2022), whereas bonds pay interest at regular intervals (Parker, 2022).

An example of a commercial receipt
Assume that a construction company is looking for short-term funds to finance the supply of construction material. The company needs 100,000 euros. It offers investors commercial receipts with a nominal value of 105,000 euros. When the commercial paper matures, investors receive an interest payment of €5,000 along with the €100,000 they lent. This is equivalent to an interest rate of 5%. This interest rate can be adjusted in relation to time, depending on the number of days for which the commercial receipt is unpaid (Outstanding).

Is a trade receipt a type of debt?
Yes. Commercial paper is short-term and (un)secured debt issued by institutions that want to raise the necessary capital for a short period of time. It is an alternative to taking out a business loan.

Who are the main buyers of commercial receipts?
Due to the considerable amount of emissions, the main buyers of commercial receipts are large institutions. According to the SEC, these institutions include: investment companies, retirement savings funds (Retirement accounts), state and local governments, financial and non-financial institutions (Baklanova, et al., 2020). Individuals can also be purchasers of commercial receipts.

How do individuals invest in commercial paper?
Since the minimum investment amount is usually not small, the best way to invest in commercial paper for investors with smaller amounts is to put money in companies that buy commercial paper. This includes money market funds, mutual funds and “Exchange-traded funds” (Hayes, 2022).

Briefing
Commercial paper is unsecured debt with a short maturity (up to 270 days), issued by companies with a high credit rating. It offers a more profitable opportunity to raise funds to pay short-term expenses, compared to taking a business loan.

Commercial paper can also be more profitable for issuers because of the low interest rate and quick maturity. Although this rate is not always as attractive to investors, it can have a higher return than that offered by some bonds (eg Treasury Bills) (Hayes, 2022). Also, it is an investment option that can help diversify the portfolio.

Commercial paper can be seen as a low-risk investment, due to the high credit rating of the issuers. However, it should be borne in mind that like any other investment, it also involves a degree of risk (Hayes, 2022).

Securities are exchangeable and tradable financial instruments used to raise capital in public and private markets. Commercial companies or companies as they are known in the jargon use financial instruments for raising capital for investment purposes.

According to Kosovo legislation, there are three types of securities: shares, which provide the holders with ownership rights in the trading company, bonds or borrowing and bonds convertible into shares. The sale and purchase of securities can be done according to a public or private process.

What are shares and why are they issued?
Shares are financial instruments that represent ownership of a portion of the corporation or company that issued or sold them. They provide the owner with a proportional participation in all the company’s property, which is determined by the number of shares he bought out of the total number of shares sold, throughout the period.

Corporations or companies issue or sell shares to raise capital so that they can then invest in new products or services or expand their business.

There are two main types of shares: common or common and preferred or privileged. The rights and benefits of shareholders are determined depending on the type of shares he owns and the company’s charter. Preferred shares are usually issued, which have priority in dividends compared to ordinary shares. Newly established companies or as they are otherwise known as start-ups have the right to issue or sell shares. For all types of companies, the evaluation of the companies is done before the issue, respectively before the sale and purchase of shares.

What are the advantages and risks of investing in stocks?
The advantages of investing in shares are that the investor does not need to deal with early and laborious processes of establishing the company, especially when the risk of failure is greater. Another advantage is that the shareholder of a company does not necessarily have to work in the company in which he has invested. He can be a shareholder, not work even a day in the company he invested in, but enjoy the net annual profit in proportion to the amount of shares he holds. Otherwise, these incomes are also known as passive incomes. In addition to income from dividends or the annual profit of the company, the owner of the shares also enjoys income at the time of their sale. An investor who has funds and invests them in a business can earn more than a traditional deposit. In addition to the opportunities for making profits, if the business in which the shareholder has invested, if the business does not turn out to be successful, the business may not generate profits or may even create financial losses. In such cases the investments may be lost or the value of the shares may fall.

From the point of view of the issuer or seller of shares, the advantage of issuing them is that the money does not need to be returned, as in the case of obtaining loans or other loans. The stock seller exchanges a portion of his ownership for the amount of money he receives in the name of the stock. All this, according to the value of the business it holds. But, on the other hand, it is very important that the business adheres to the investment plan in order not to expose itself to the risks of business failure, in which case all shareholders will suffer. This is where investment advice and supervision, usually provided by an investment advisor, plays a very important role.

What are bonds (borrowing) or bonds and why do companies issue bonds?
Issuing bonds is one way companies can raise capital. A bond (debt) works like a loan between an investor and a company. The investor (which can be an individual or a business) agrees to give the company a certain amount of money for a certain period of time. In return, the investor receives periodic interest payments. When the bond reaches its maturity date, the company repays the principal or original debt amount. The investor can request a guarantee from the borrower as much as he or an independent appraiser deems equivalent to the property he invests and keep it until the day of return, or sell it in case of non-return of the debt. An investor who has funds and lends them to a business in exchange for a valid guarantee pre-supposed to earn more than it earns from traditional deposits.

What are the advantages of bonds versus other methods of raising capital?
In most cases, borrowing from a bank is the first thought for those who need money. The question arises: “Why would a company issue bonds (securities loans) instead of taking a loan from a bank?”

Issuing bonds is often more profitable than borrowing from banks because the interest rate companies pay to bond investors

eve is usually lower than the interest rate offered by banks and the possibility of returning the principal (principal) at maturity enables the funds to be kept in circulation throughout the period. Companies can continue to issue new bonds as long as they can find willing investors, without affecting the company’s ownership or how it operates. This makes bonds more favorable than stocks.

What are Bonds convertible into shares and what are their advantages?
These bonds start out the same as other bonds, but offer investors the option of converting the bond into a predetermined number of shares.

Conversion from bond to stock can be done at certain times during the life of the bond and is usually at the discretion of the bondholder.

Convertible bonds are a flexible financing option for companies. Companies benefit, as they can issue bonds at lower interest rates than traditional bond offerings. In turn, such conversions enable investors to benefit from rising stock prices.

Success!

In less than two months since IBAS, for the first time in Kosovo, opened the public call for the purchase of shares, it managed to sell 11,540 preference shares out of 8,000 issued or 144.25% of the target. Translated into financial values, it captures the amount of 577,000 euros. The high demand for the purchase of shares in IBAS proved once again that the IBAS era has already arrived.

Today, IBAS closes the round of fundraising through the sale of preferred shares, thus closing another success, one of many to come.

The personnel of IBAS thanks all the shareholders and assures them that this investment will accelerate the implementation of the vision and the increase of competitiveness in the market. He also thanks those who expressed interest, but who failed to buy the shares because they could not provide the documentation required by the regulator (Central Bank of Kosovo) within a reasonable period of time.

Seeing the great interest of the citizens, IBAS assures the general public that there will be other opportunities in the near future to join the IBAS era and the next innovations that are coming.

Success stories for institutions like IBAS

In recent years, the digitalization of the financial industry, especially the banking sector, has taken a very dynamic leap and has successfully managed to create a new era. All this with the aim of eliminating barriers in this industry and maintaining and increasing the benefits of physical and legal citizens. In the wake of this, the European Union has issued various legal norms, one of the most important of which is PSD (Payment Service Directive) 2, which,among other things, it defines the security conditions and obligates the electronic interconnection of financial institutions among themselves, in order to provide PIS (Payment Initiation Service) and AIS (Account Information Service), functions that enable customers of a financial institution to perform transactions with another institution’s technology. Most countries that are not part of the European Union have enacted similar laws and/or regulations to create a legal environment similar to that of PSD2. From this legal and technological spirit and from the attractiveness of the industry, many institutions have been developed, and some of the most popular are: Monzo, which operates in England and is valued at 4.5 billion dollars; Starling, which operates in England and is valued at $3.4 billion; N26, which operates in the European Union and is valued at $9 billion; Revolut, which operates in the European Union and England and is valued at 33 billion; Swish payment based in Sweden and Viva wallet based in Greece, which after a gradual investment of 900 million with a coefficient of 9 has sold 49% to JP Morgan. We remind you that none of these institutions, despite the capacities they have, enable the realization of digital payments without a card, without a smart phone, without a smart watch, without biometric signs, as IBAS will do.

For the first time in history, IBAS will enable digital payments without a card, phone or other means, but also without funds

The unique idea has been initiated for patenting in London and is expected to be applied in the financial industry worldwide.

“Last week, in London, I submitted the patent application for “Toolless payment solution”. Thanks to this innovation, for the first time in history, people will be able to make digital payments without a card, without a phone, without a watch, without jewelry, without biometric signs and without funds, if necessary,” stated the founder and solution architect of IBAS, Gazmend Selmani.

The innovation that IBAS will bring aims at a complete independence of payers from equipment, but also from the lack of availability of funds. Something that so far has not existed, anywhere in the world.

In the beautiful and warm environment of the “Brasserie Proka” restaurant, two couples will have the opportunity to enjoy a FREE dinner worth up to 50 EUR. Meanwhile, in the “pizza house”, the other couple will fall in love once again, but this time with Pizza Crust food at the FREE dinner, worth up to 50 EUR.

All this thanks to the prize game organized by IBAS and its partners.

1. Online through the IBAS application. This activation is done by transferring at least 1 cent from your bank account to your IBAS account. To do this, you must first open the IBAS application and click on the “fill wallet” icon.

2. Physically by signing the contract at the IBAS offices. You can do this activation every working day from 8:30 to 17:00.
   You can use the bonus in all businesses and organizations that have an agreement with IBAS, at over 1000 payment points.

“Through this agreement, we have enabled the residents of this region to make payments 24/7 and even without any additional provision”, he said.

Meanwhile, the chief executive officer of KURM, Bashkim Kurti, said that this agreement was made in order to facilitate the way of paying the water company.

“This contract is about the relief for the water supply customers who from now on will be able to make their payments for the water supply service bills online without any additional expenses or fees”, he said.

Payments through IBAS are made online through its application, which can be downloaded from the App Store or the Play Store. Opening, maintaining and verifying an IBAS account is free of charge.

The Government of Kosovo has decided that all those people who receive consumer loans up to the amount of 10,000 euros, will benefit from the loan subsidy. The subsidy amount for each applicant who qualifies is 10% of the total loan amount, up to 300 euros.

“Those interested in benefiting from this measure must first get the loan at any of the licensed financial institutions in Kosovo, and then fill out the application form. After confirming the accuracy of the application, the subsidy is paid to the borrower’s bank account,” the Government announcement states.

Since IBAS is licensed by the Central Bank of Kosovo, loans issued by this institution can be subsidized by the Government. Therefore, you can apply for a loan at IBAS and then apply for a loan subsidy. You can find the application form on the eKosova platform, under the “services” section.
