With new Birbank feature, tracking public transport expenses has become easier

Birbank, the country’s first digital bank, is introducing
another innovation that makes everyday financial operations more
convenient and transparent for its customers. Thanks to this new
feature, users can now track their expenses in greater detail when
paying for public transport via contactless NFC payments.

In the “History” section of the Birbank mobile application,
users can now view the route number of the trip, the name of the
metro station, and the date of travel. This makes it easy to
identify which specific journey a charge relates to, especially in
cases of delayed transactions, and provides full clarity through an
electronic receipt.

The feature is available to all Birbank users and applies to
payments made with NFC-enabled bank cards.

Due to Birbank’s technological support implemented last year,
contactless payment has been introduced across all bus routes in
the capital, including services operated by “Baku Bus” LLC, as well
as at all stations of “Bakı Metropoliteni” CJSC. This solution was
implemented in cooperation with “K Group” LLC and covers cards from
all local banks, forming a unified open payment infrastructure for
urban transport.

Additionally, it is important to mention that the technical
operation of fare payments, including NFC and QR-based
transactions, is managed by “Bakı Metropoliteni” and the “BakıKart”
system. The bank, in turn, processes the deduction of funds from
the customer’s account strictly based on the transmitted
transaction data. Therefore, in case of any questions, customers
may contact “BakıKart” support for more detailed information.

Birbank, the trademark of Kapital Bank and a provider of the
latest digital innovations and banking products, serves its
customers through a mobile application with more than 3 million
active users, as well as the largest branch network in Azerbaijan,
consisting of 114 branches and 53 service offices. For more
