IBAS strengthens its governance and strategic leadership with the approval of its CEO by the Central Bank of Kosovo

The Central Bank of Kosovo has approved the appointment of Mr. Gazmend Selmani as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of IBAS J.S.C.

Mr. Selmani, founder and co-investor of IBAS, has played a continuous and pivotal role since the institution’s establishment.
In the early stages, he acted as the architect behind the company’s technological framework, and over the past two years, he has chaired the Strategy and Innovation Committee, driving the development of new solutions and empowering IBAS teams in all aspects of growth and innovation.

Mr. Selmani brings over two decades of experience in entrepreneurship and management.
He is widely recognized for his innovative mindset and strategic leadership that have shaped the growth of several successful ventures across the technology, education, and finance sectors.
He holds a Master’s degree in Leadership and Strategic Management (MSc), accredited to UK Level 7 Higher Education standards, and an MBA earned in England.

These accomplishments and professional attributes have earned the confidence of the shareholders, the Board of Directors, and the IBAS team that, under Mr. Selmani’s leadership, the company will continue to advance successfully in its journey of development, innovation, and internationalization.

“I sincerely thank the IBAS Board for the trust placed in me. Under my leadership, IBAS will focus on four key pillars:
(1) transforming IBAS into a virtual Financial HUB,
(2) enhancing competitiveness and advancing the customer experience through innovative products and solutions,
(3) the internationalization of IBAS – starting with its launch in London, England, and progressing towards registration and potential listing on the London Stock Exchange or Nasdaq,
(4) maintaining and strengthening compliance with regulatory requirements.
I believe this is the right moment for IBAS to demonstrate that a financial institution from Kosovo can successfully compete in international markets.”

—Gazmend Selmani, Chief Executive Officer of IBAS

Through this appointment, IBAS reinforces its standing as one of the region’s most innovative financial institutions, moving forward with its vision of becoming an international Financial HUB that bridges European markets with Kosovo.
The institution remains fully committed to transparency, regulatory compliance, and the ongoing enhancement of its services, enabling clients to access modern, efficient, and secure financial solutions.

IBAS Cashback Program – The Smartest Solution to Boost Your Business Sales

In an increasingly competitive market, your business needs new strategies that drive real sales — not just marketing exposure. IBAS offers exactly that: a structured cashback program where you pay only when sales happen, while IBAS takes care of marketing and offer distribution.

Why Partner with IBAS?

  • Customer base – Around 50,000 IBAS clients are potentially your next customers.
  • Risk-free marketing – No upfront costs; you only pay for the cashback distributed.
  • Guaranteed sales – Every payment is directly tied to a real customer purchase.
  • Full transparency – Monthly reports with all purchases, customers, and cashback amounts.
  • Long-term loyalty – Customers return to you because they’re rewarded after every purchase.

How It works?

  1. The customer pays at your business using an IBAS Mastercard.
  2. The discount you offer is instantly credited by IBAS to the customer’s IBAS account..
  3. You receive a detailed monthly report of all purchases and cashback given.
  4. You receive a detailed monthly report of all purchases and cashback given.

Practical example:

  • Average annual spending from IBAS clients at your business: €100
  • Additional sales generated by IBAS clients: €500,000
  • Average net profit margin: 5% = €25,000
  • Cashback given to IBAS clients: €10,000 (2%)
  • Net remaining profit: €15,000

Do not pay FEES to send money to Kosovo

One of the most frequently asked questions we get from our friends in the diaspora is: “How can I send money to Kosovo quickly and without fees?” A very reasonable question – who wants to pay when there’s a way to send money to Kosovo WITHOUT FEES? That’s exactly what IBAS provides – a solution no one else offers, making life easier not only for family members in Kosovo but also for diaspora members.

How does IBAS work?
IBAS allows diaspora members to send money directly from their account, from any bank in Europe, to a bank account (IBAN, with SEPA access) that IBAS provides to their family members in Kosovo. This means that sending money from Europe to Kosovo happens just like sending money within Europe – and recipients in Kosovo receive the funds within seconds.

All this is possible for those who have one of the IBAS packages, which provide:

  • Bank account (UK IBAN) with SEPA access, FREE OF CHARGE

  • Mastercard without monthly maintenance fees

  • Withdrawals at any ATM without fees

  • Up to 3 transfers per month from Europe – without fees

  • Up to €1,000 credit interest-free

  • Hospital health insurance FREE up to €25,000

Unbelievable? Here’s how it works:
If you live in a European country, you don’t need to visit bank branches or gas stations to deposit money and send it to Kosovo. You also don’t need to download or install multiple financial apps or manage different bank cards. All you need is for your family member in Kosovo to open an IBAS bank account from home, entirely online – no queues or paperwork.

Once the account is opened, IBAS provides the account number, which can be sent to you via Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook, or any communication channel you use. If they need help, we gladly assist. Then, from your phone or your European bank account, you initiate the transfer to your family member’s IBAS account. The money arrives within seconds. After that, it can be withdrawn at any ATM in Kosovo or spent in stores using the personal IBAS Mastercard we provide.

Does the recipient in Kosovo pay anything?
It depends on the account type chosen. The recipient can select:

  • STANDARD Account: No monthly fee, but pays €3.00 per transfer regardless of the amount received.

  • REMITTANCE + Health Insurance Account: Monthly fee €9.99, includes:

    • 2 free transfers per month from Europe

    • Hospital health insurance up to €25,000 free

    • Mastercard without maintenance or fees

    • 2 free ATM withdrawals per month in Kosovo

  • PREMIUM Account: Monthly fee €9.99, includes:

    • 2 free transfers per month from Europe

    • €750 interest-free credit for 3 months

    • Mastercard without maintenance or fees

    • 2 free ATM withdrawals per month in Kosovo

  • INTEGRA | Family Care Account: Monthly fee €14.99, includes:

    • 3 free transfers per month from Europe

    • €1,000 interest-free credit for 30 days

    • Mastercard without maintenance or fees

    • 3 free ATM withdrawals per month in Kosovo

    • Hospital health insurance up to €25,000 free

Can I upgrade later if I initially open a STANDARD account?
Yes, absolutely! Just press the “Upgrade Account” button in the IBAS app, view all account types, and activate the one you prefer.

Is IBAS safe?
Absolutely. IBAS is a licensed financial institution regulated by the Central Bank of Kosovo, with regular oversight like traditional banks. IBAS has headquarters in Kosovo and the UK, providing access to the SEPA system, monitored by the European Central Bank and the European Commission. We use the latest technology, two-factor authentication (2FA), and biometric verification – just like the most secure banks in Europe.

IBAS – Your financial friend
IBAS is your partner in reducing expenses, ensuring your family’s financial well-being, and providing free health insurance at private hospitals in Kosovo and Albania.

The question is – are you ready to make life easier for yourself and your family in Kosovo?

Or click the “Press Here” button if they need assistance, and we will guide them step by step. You can also contact us directly at: 038600300 or 048123123, and we will take care of the rest.

Why Investing in Digital Financial Services is a Winning Strategy

The fintech revolution has transformed the financial sector, creating unparalleled investment opportunities in digital banking and financial services. Investors who recognized the potential early have seen remarkable returns, particularly in markets with strong regulatory frameworks and rapid digital adoption. As financial services continue to shift towards mobile-first, AI-driven, and frictionless experiences, fintech banking service providers are at the forefront of this evolution.

A Thriving Ecosystem for Fintech Growth

One of the world’s most mature fintech markets has set the gold standard for digital banking innovation. The region is home to some of the most successful digital banks, including Revolut, Monzo, and Starling Bank, which have redefined traditional banking by offering seamless, low-cost, and highly personalized financial services.
Several factors have contributed to the phenomenal rise of fintech banking services:

  •          Progressive Regulatory Environment: A robust yet supportive financial regulatory framework allows fintech firms to experiment and scale. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) sandbox has been instrumental in fostering innovation, enabling startups to test financial products before full-scale deployment.
  •          High Fintech Adoption Rates: Digital banking adoption is among the highest in Europe, with millions of consumers and businesses preferring fintech solutions over traditional banks.
  •          Investment Magnet: The region has attracted billions in fintech investments, consistently ranking among the top global fintech hubs.

Why Fintech Banking Services are a Smart Investment

The fintech banking sector continues to offer investors substantial growth potential due to several key advantages:

  1. Scalability and Cost Efficiency
    Unlike traditional banks, fintech banking services operate without costly branch networks, allowing them to scale faster and reach global markets with minimal infrastructure investment.

  2. Strong Consumer Demand
    Younger generations—Millennials and Gen Z—increasingly favor digital-first banking solutions. The shift toward mobile banking, AI-driven financial planning, and embedded finance is only accelerating.

  3. Acquisition and IPO Potential
    Many fintech firms become prime acquisition targets for major financial institutions and global tech giants, offering lucrative exit opportunities for early investors. Others are heading toward IPOs, presenting high-return potential.

  4. Expansion into Embedded Finance
    Fintech banking services are no longer just about deposits and payments. The rise of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), digital lending, and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) has expanded fintech’s reach into retail, healthcare, and B2B sectors, creating additional revenue streams.

Case Studies: Investor Returns in Leading Fintech Banks

Early investments in fintech companies like Revolut, Monzo, and Starling Bank have yielded impressive returns:

  •          Revolut: Founded in 2015, Revolut has experienced exponential growth, with its valuation soaring to $45 billion as of 2024. Early investors who participated in funding rounds through platforms like Crowdcube have seen remarkable returns. For instance, individuals who invested at $2.14 per share in 2016 have witnessed their shares’ value increase to $865.42 per share, representing a 404-fold return on their initial investment. (thetimes.co.uk)
  •          Monzo: This digital bank has also provided substantial returns for its early backers. Employees and early investors have benefited from significant appreciation in share value, with opportunities to realize profits through secondary share sales. Monzo’s valuation reached £4.5 billion in 2024, reflecting its strong market position and growth trajectory. (techfundingnews.com)
  •          Starling Bank: While specific figures regarding investor returns are less publicized, Starling has demonstrated consistent profitability and growth. In 2023, the bank reported a pre-tax profit of £195 million, with total revenue reaching £453 million. This financial stability suggests positive outcomes for its investors. (thefinanser.com)

Balancing the Rewards with the Risks

While investing in fintech banking service companies offers high-reward potential, investors must also navigate risks, particularly when investing in equity.

  •          Regulatory Challenges: Changes in financial regulations can impact fintech firms’ operational models, especially those expanding internationally.
  •          Market Volatility: Fintech stocks, particularly early-stage startups, can experience sharp valuation swings based on market sentiment and economic conditions.
  •          Competitive Pressure: With new players entering the market, companies must constantly innovate to maintain a competitive edge.
  •          Liquidity Risk: Private equity investments in fintech firms often require longer holding periods, with limited short-term exit options.

The Future of Fintech Banking Services is Just Beginning

Fintech banking services have already disrupted traditional finance, but the real opportunity lies ahead as new technologies, AI-driven automation, and embedded finance redefine how people manage money. For investors willing to embrace innovation, strategic risk management, and long-term vision, fintech banking services remain one of the most compelling investment opportunities of the decade.

IBAS helps SHOPS manage cash flow during the holiday season!

With the holiday season approaching, retailers across Kosovo are preparing for a surge in demand. Black Friday and Christmas sales are expected to bring a significant increase in transactions. However, with higher sales come higher operational costs, and managing cash flow during this busy period can be challenging.

IBAS is committed to helping retailers manage cash flow during the holiday season.

By partnering with IBAS, retailers will have the opportunity to create a fantastic shopping experience for their customers, allowing them to enjoy the holidays with the purchases they want at the best prices, without worrying about payments—IBAS takes care of that, in accordance with the criteria and conditions set by the Central Bank of Kosovo.

With Black Friday just a few days away, e-commerce businesses are encouraged to optimize the customer experience and emphasize secure payment measures, or risk missing the opportunity to boost sales, attract new customers, and increase spending.

Shifting Shopping Habits
Despite the continued popularity of traditional payment methods such as debit and credit cards for holiday shopping, new research from payment platforms highlights a noticeable shift toward alternative payment methods. Increasingly, consumers prefer digital wallets when shopping online during the festive season.

Business experts explain that to capture the most consumer attention on Black Friday, retailers should embrace a wide range of payment options:
“Competition among retailers to be the final shopping destination for consumers has never been greater. Retailers offering multiple payment options and a seamless checkout experience will stand out, attract new audiences, and increase conversion rates.”

Based on this, IBAS has decided to support SHOPS to perform at their best during the HOLIDAYS.

To take advantage of this opportunity, all shops should contact:

    Investing in financial instruments: Advantages and Disadvantages

    In the financial world, both individuals and businesses often seek ways to grow their capital. One of the most common methods is investing in financial instruments. However, to make the right decision, it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type of investment.

    This publication highlights the key benefits and challenges of investing in the most well-known financial instruments, including bonds, stocks, investment funds, and alternative instruments such as hedge funds and private equity.

    1. Bonds

    Bonds represent a debt instrument where investors lend money to a corporation, institution, or government in exchange for periodic interest payments and repayment of the principal at maturity.

    Advantages:

    • Low Risk: Especially for government bonds or secured bonds, the risk is minimal compared to other investments, making them suitable for conservative investors.
    • Stable Income: Bonds provide regular interest payments, offering predictable income, often higher than traditional bank deposits.
    • Diversification: Including bonds in your portfolio helps balance risk and stabilize returns.
    • Resale or Collateral: Bonds are usually tradable on secondary markets or can be used as collateral for other financial products.

    Disadvantages:

    • Lower Returns: Compared to stocks or alternative funds, bonds generally offer lower returns with a relatively lower risk.

    2. Stocks

    Stocks represent ownership in a company. By buying shares, you become a shareholder and benefit from company growth and potential dividend payouts.

    Advantages:

    • High Growth Potential: Stocks can offer high returns, especially in companies with sustainable growth.
    • Dividends: Some companies pay dividends, adding to investment income.
    • Liquidity: Stock markets usually provide high liquidity, allowing quick buying and selling.

    Disadvantages:

    • High Risk: Stock values can fluctuate significantly, and investors may lose part or all of their investment if a company fails.
    • Time Horizon: Stocks often require a longer-term horizon to realize significant returns, as markets can be volatile in the short term.

    3. Investment Funds

    Investment funds allow you to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments, managed by professionals.

    Advantages:

    • Automatic Diversification: A fund invests in multiple instruments, reducing individual investment risk.
    • Professional Management: Managed by experts, allowing you to benefit from their market knowledge.
    • Lower Costs: Some funds have lower management fees compared to individual investments.

    Disadvantages:

    • Management Fees: Some funds may have high fees that reduce net returns.
    • Limited Returns: Diversification reduces risk but also limits the potential for very high returns from individual investments.

    4. Hedge Funds and Private Equity

    These alternative instruments are usually available to institutional investors or high-net-worth individuals. Hedge funds use complex strategies to generate high returns, while private equity focuses on investing in private companies.

    Advantages:

    • High Potential Returns: These strategies can yield very high returns for investors willing to accept significant risk.
    • Advanced Diversification: Hedge fund investors gain access to strategies and instruments unavailable in traditional markets.

    Disadvantages:

    • High Risk: Use of leverage and complex strategies increases the risk of loss.

      How to earn more than bank deposits?

      TWe all want to earn more and maximize our returns as much as possible. Nowadays, there are plenty of opportunities. Some invest in real estate, some in bank deposits, some in treasury bonds, and some in financial markets, specifically in regulated and supervised markets. In this context, let me remind you that, in addition to other licenses, IBAS is licensed by the Central Bank of Kosovo as an Investment Advisor, offering services for buying and selling financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, and commercial papers.

      Maximizing Security in Bond Investments

      To minimize risks from bond investments, investors choose to invest in regulated and supervised markets, preferring financial instruments like bonds or securities issued through licensed institutions authorized to issue financial instruments.

      These institutions issue bonds only if the corporation offering the financing opportunities has sound financial health and meets the criteria set in the country where the bonds or securities are being issued. To enhance investor security, bond issuers often provide collateral. Collateralized bonds are also known as secured bonds or Securitized Bonds.

      To issue Securitized Bonds, issuers provide collateral in the form of assets or real estate. Often, these bonds are further secured by licensed institutions and are supported through mechanisms known as Credit Default Swaps (CDS). Some of the institutions offering such protection include investment banks like Barclays, HSBC, Standard Chartered, and financial insurance companies like AIG (American International Group) and Monoline Insurers.

      Why Invest with IBAS?

      If you want to invest in these opportunities, IBAS has specialized local and international personnel with the expertise and dedication to prepare and supervise your investment plan. Moreover, IBAS advises investing in regulated and supervised financial markets, such as bond issuances in the United States, the United Kingdom, or Western Europe.

        Remittances via IBAS – for only €3, regardless of the amount

        The Kosovar diaspora in Germany has always maintained a strong connection with their homeland, and sending remittances is one of the main ways to support family and loved ones in Kosovo. However, the traditional process of sending money often requires visiting physical offices, involves high costs, and can be time-consuming and cumbersome.

        IBAS, as a financial institution licensed by the Central Bank of Kosovo, offers an innovative solution to simplify this process. You can now send money anytime, anywhere in Germany, without the hassle of traditional procedures.

        How It works

        Using IBAS is extremely simple. As a SEPA member (Single Euro Payments Area), IBAS allows you to transfer money directly from your bank account in Germany to the recipient’s IBAS account in Kosovo, without visiting physical offices. This service is usually free for the sender, and the funds reach Kosovo within seconds—except in cases where your bank is not part of SEPA Instant. In those cases, the transfer will arrive within one business day.

        The Recipient in Kosovo

        To receive the funds, the recipient needs an IBAS payment account, which is completely free to open and maintain. By opening an IBAS account, the recipient automatically gets a British bank account with SEPA access. They pay only €3 per transfer, regardless of the amount sent. The process is simple, transparent, and free of hidden fees. If help is needed, IBAS staff assist at no cost.

        Benefits for the Diaspora

        • No fees for the sender: As a SEPA member, IBAS enables transfers from Germany to Kosovo, usually free of charge, unless your bank’s policy differs from other German banks.
        • Send from home: No need to visit offices or agencies; everything is done online from your bank account.
        • Fast and secure: Transfers are executed quickly and securely, without delays or complications.

        Benefits for the Recipient in Kosovo

        • Free account: Opening and maintaining an IBAS account is completely free.
        • Low costs: The recipient pays only €3 per transfer, regardless of the amount.
        • SEPA access: The IBAS account gives access to the SEPA network, allowing quick and low-cost receipt of remittances.
        • Additional services: Recipients can access credit for payments or enjoy PLOT, INTEGRA, or PREMIUM packages, which allow purchases with Buy Now, Pay Later options for up to three months interest-free, among other benefits.

        With IBAS, you can support your loved ones in Kosovo in the easiest, cheapest, and safest way. Together, we make it easier for the Kosovar diaspora to care for their homeland.

        Kosovo IBAN for Individuals, Businesses, and NGOs

        Thanks to advancements in legislation by the Central Bank of Kosovo, IBAS has started issuing international bank account numbers (IBANs) for individuals, businesses, and NGOs. All IBANs issued by IBAS come with no maintenance fees and allow sending and receiving money to any bank account, domestically or internationally.

        In addition to the Kosovo bank account, IBAS continues to issue British bank account numbers, giving holders access to SEPA (Single European Payment Area). This enables receiving or sending money to and from Europe within seconds, for a fee of just €3, regardless of the amount.

        Moreover, IBAS offers credit or overdraft facilities for payments with repayment terms up to 12 months, as well as a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) model with 0% interest for three (3) months.

        These are just some of the innovations and opportunities IBAS provides to its clients. The same dynamic will continue with new developments and attractive solutions for customers.

        Pass-through eWallet: The Next Generation Innovation from IBAS

        We’ve all faced inconvenient situations when making a payment to a public or private institution—either we don’t have an electronic payment option, we lack cash on hand, or we don’t have the necessary information to complete the payment via eBanking or mBanking. To eliminate these issues, IBAS introduces the latest technology: Pass-through eWallet—a unique solution not found anywhere else in Kosovo or the Western Balkans.

        What exactly is Pass-through eWallet?

        In recent years, you may have heard a lot about eWallets or electronic wallets. Traditional eWallets are offered by licensed financial institutions, allowing users to hold electronic money in a payment account. Payments to third parties—public institutions, private entities, or even private individuals—require two steps:

        1. Preloading the eWallet with funds (either at a physical point, via bank transfer, or using Visa/Mastercard).
        2. Initiating and confirming the payment to the selected beneficiary.

        With IBAS Pass-through eWallet, this traditional method becomes obsolete. Now, the technology allows you to make electronic payments without preloading your eWallet. Payments or transfers can be completed directly from your Visa or Mastercard.

        Moreover, thanks to the legal framework provided by Law 03/L-196, you don’t even need to create a digital identity. And that’s not all—if you don’t have funds on your Visa or Mastercard, you can still make payments using one of the three “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) accounts offered by IBAS.

        Experience the Power of Pass-through eWallet
        Enjoy the freedom of controlling your finances without the stress of insufficient funds when you need them the most. Visit our website https://ibas.world/join-ibas/ and create your account to make payments at any public institution whenever needed.

        Why Your Company Should Issue Bonds

        In today’s competitive market, companies are constantly looking for ways to grow. One opportunity to increase capital is through bond issuance. However, until now, this form of financing has not been widely accessible to private businesses in Kosovo due to the absence of capital markets legislation. That said, businesses are still able to issue bonds in Europe, specifically in the UK, where capital markets are regulated and supervised. IBAS, as an institution licensed by the Central Bank of Kosovo as an Investment Advisor, can assist you in this process.

        Some of the benefits of issuing bonds include:

        • Access to Funds: Issuing bonds provides companies with immediate cash flow without selling shares or losing control of the company. This financing can be used for various purposes, including funding new projects, purchasing goods/services for circulation, expanding facilities or assets, or refinancing existing debt.
        • Fixed Interest Payments: Unlike bank loans or other lending instruments, bonds typically come with fixed interest payments. This predictability allows companies to manage cash flow and budgeting more effectively, regardless of interest rate fluctuations.
        • Diverse Investor Base: Bonds attract a wide range of investors, including institutional investors, pension funds, and individual investors seeking stable returns. Leveraging this diverse investor base can potentially secure more favorable financing conditions.
        • Long-Term Flexibility: Bonds can be issued with a variety of maturities, from short-term bonds (less than one year) to long-term bonds (up to 30 years or more), allowing companies to align financing with project or initiative needs.
        • Enhanced Credit Profile: Successful bond issuance can improve a company’s credit profile and overall financial position, potentially resulting in lower borrowing costs in the future and greater access to various capital sources.

        Unsecured Bonds

        Unsecured bonds, also known as debentures, are not backed by specific assets, unlike secured bonds, which are supported by specific collateral. Investors rely solely on the issuing company’s creditworthiness and reputation.

        Advantages of unsecured bonds include:

        • Lower Collateral Requirements: Issuing unsecured bonds eliminates the need to pledge specific assets. This is particularly beneficial for companies with limited assets or those seeking to maintain flexibility for future financing.
        • Ease for Investors: Unsecured bonds are simpler for investors as they do not require collateral evaluation, which can positively impact bond pricing. However, the issuance depends heavily on the company’s ability to repay.
        • Asset Management Flexibility: Companies retain greater flexibility in managing their assets and operations, as financing does not depend on available collateral.
        • Building Trust and Reputation: Successfully issuing unsecured bonds demonstrates confidence in the company’s financial strength. This can increase investor trust, foster long-term relationships, and provide ongoing access to capital markets.

        Conclusion:

        Issuing bonds, especially unsecured bonds, offers an exceptional opportunity for companies to increase capital, diversify their investor base, and strengthen their financial position. By carefully considering the benefits and value proposition of bond issuance, companies can open new paths for growth and innovation while maximizing shareholder value.

        If you believe that issuing bonds can enhance your business’s strength and competitiveness, contact us to learn more about these opportunities.

He urged them to adapt to the evolving landscape shaped by PSD2 regulations and the advent of open banking. Additionally, he advocated for partnerships with governmental organizations to ensure that businesses provide at least one alternative to cash payments.

          IBAS – A Remarkable Visit to the University of Pristina

          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.

          Faleminderit që zgjodhët IBAS për nevojat tuaja bankare!

          Jemi të lumtur t’ju mirëpresim. Në përputhje me kërkesat rregullative, ju lutemi të shkarkoni aplikacionin tonë dhe të filloni procesin KYC/KYB, i cili është kërkesë ligjore për hapjen e një llogarie bankare.

          Procesi është i thjeshtë dhe vjen me udhëzimet e nevojshme.

          Përjetoni në maksimum IBAS – Banking Inovativ dhe Zgjidhje tërheqëse!

          Zgjidhni dyqanin për të shkarkuar aplikacionin.
