On September 3, 2025, the “FinTech Horizons Forum” was held with the support of the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan, organized by the Azerbaijan FinTech Association (AzFina) and sponsored by PashaPay.

The forum brought together leading companies in the country’s fintech ecosystem, providing a platform to discuss the opportunities of AniPay (Instant Payment System – IPS) and the Government Payment Portal, including QR payments, directions for digital transformation, and the future of financial services.

The main goal of the forum was to accelerate the adoption of digital payments and stimulate innovation in financial technologies. The 66% increase in cashless transactions in 2024 further highlighted the importance of AniPay in the country’s digital economy.

During the event, participants worked on innovative payment products built on the IPS infrastructure, service models in compliance with new regulatory requirements, and business solutions based on 24/7 operational systems. The aim was to develop practical models that meet real market needs by utilizing existing technology more effectively. Certificates were awarded to teams that proposed successful solutions.
