Visa announced the launch of Visa Zero liability in Azerbaijan – the policy that is designed to protect consumers from unauthorized transactions. This policy gives cardholders more confidence to pay anytime, anywhere for anything using Visa cards — knowing they are protected on their transactions. International Bank of Azerbaijan became the 1st in the country roll-out Visa Zero liability in cooperation with Visa.

Cashless payments have increased by 3% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, Dmytro Krepak, Visa Inc. Country Manager for Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia, told The FINANCIAL in an exclusive interview.
“Georgia is a leader in launching innovations. There are multiple examples of Georgia being a pilot market for Visa to launch really interesting and exciting innovations. For example, the first contactless transaction to take place in the whole region of Central-Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, actually happened in Georgia. Georgia was the first place to have a contactless transaction, many years ago. So that is why Georgia is one of our champions in terms of innovations,” Krepak told The FINANCIAL.

Dmytro Krepak, Visa country manager for Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia said: “McDonald’s have a been a reliable partner for Visa in many markets. Visa introduced cashless payment option at McDonalds restaurants in many countries across CISSEE. Moreover, Visa teamed with McDonald’s to pilot Visa payWave contactless payments, including mobile Visa payWave, in Ukraine, Belarus, Serbia and Georgia. When we launched first commercial Visa payWave program in Georgia our expectations were that contactless will help us drive cashless payments in Georgia more efficiently. And today we actually see this happening:
• Georgia enters TOP3 countries in CEMEA on contactless;
• McDonald’s is one of the biggest drivers of contactless payments in Georgia with 53% share of contactless payments in total number of transactions made in McDonald’s in September 2016;By launching the first automatic self-service kiosks in Georgia we make another step to enhance consumer experience”.
