As previously announced, Kapital Bank, together with the
Education Development Fund and the global technology company
“Mastercard”, has launched the TəhsilPlus project for education
professionals. The project, which was introduced last year, has now
successfully completed its preparation phase.


The multifunctional TəhsilPlus card, offering a range of
benefits and privileges to employees of educational institutions,
was first presented to the teachers who achieved high results in
the certification exams held between 2022 and 2025 and
distinguished themselves through their professional activities.


The project covers nearly 450 000 pedagogical and administrative
staff working across all levels of the education system. The
TəhsilPlus card combines three functions in a single card, serving
as a salary card, a debit card, and an access card for education
professionals.


Representatives of relevant public institutions and private
organizations attended the event marking the official card
presentation ceremony. During the event, the Chair of the Board of
the Education Development Fund, Nijat Mammadli, delivered the
opening remarks. He stated that the Fund operates on the principles
of expanding public private partnerships, promoting innovative
initiatives, and ensuring sustainable support for educational
institutions. According to him, the launch of the TəhsilPlus card
following the introduction of the StudentPlus card represents a
logical continuation of this strategy and offers education
professionals a unified and multifunctional solution.


In his remarks, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board, Chief
Corporate Sales Officer Farid Hidayatzade, emphasized that support
for the education sector is among the Bank’s key priorities. He
noted that in the modern era, financial tools are no longer limited
to payment functions but have evolved into comprehensive platforms
that enhance everyday convenience. He highlighted that the
discounts, bonus opportunities, and extensive partner network
available through the TəhsilPlus card will make a tangible
contribution to teachers’ daily lives. Special attention was drawn
to the fact that the project has been implemented within the
framework of a public private partnership model. He expressed
confidence that sustainable development can only be achieved
through close and consistent cooperation and stressed that the
initiative aims not merely to issue a card, but to create a
unified, multifunctional, and long term solution for education
professionals.







Engin Yashar, Vice President of Business Development at
“Mastercard” stated: “At “Mastercard”, we believe that innovation
must go hand in hand with financial inclusion. The TəhsilPlus card
is an example of how digital technology can create meaningful
impact by empowering education professionals with secure,
multifunctional and forward-looking solutions. Through strong
partnerships in Azerbaijan, we continue to support financial
inclusion and expand access to modern payment ecosystems.”


Following the official part of the event, a promotional video
presenting the TəhsilPlus card was shown. The video highlighted the
card’s design, functionality, partner network benefits, and bonus
offers, as well as special discounts available through the
“Mastercard Priceless Specials” program.
