Strong Growth Reflected in Numbers

In 2024, the app experienced a significant surge in use. The number of transactions processed through the app by retail and service businesses more than doubled, as did the total payment volume.

SoftPOS is becoming an increasingly popular payment solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Our data supports this as the number of terminals with the tapXphone app grew by 50% over the year. We believe this growth trend will continue in the coming year.

New Launches in Key Markets

In 2024, two banks in Azerbaijan introduced this modern payment solution to their clients. These included PASHA Bank, the country’s largest financial institution, and the rapidly growing Yelo Bank.

Azerbaijan is a strategic region for us. Today, six partners in the country offer tapXphone as a payment solution. The recent years have seen rapid development in contactless payments there and our launches are contributing to this progress. I am confident that local businesses will find this payment method convenient for their customers and beneficial for their operations.

PCI MPoC Certifications Achieved

Partners can fully trust the security of payment acceptance via the app. tapXphone was among the first solutions globally to achieve certification under the PCI MPoC standard, currently the leading benchmark in the industry. These certifications demonstrate IBA Group’s commitment to meeting the latest security standards for its tapXphone.

The certifications cover

  1. MPoC Solutions
  2. MPoC Attestation and Monitoring (A&M) Services
  3. MPoC Software Application
  4. MPoC Isolated SDK
We have worked extensively to meet these compliance requirements and remain a leader in the field. Our partners can trust that we provide a reliable service that adheres to all security standards. We are now finalizing the transition of all partners to the PCI MPoC version.

Scaling Up

Driven by several factors such as a clear value proposition, economic advantages, active marketing campaigns, and growing visibility in daily life, the expansion of SoftPOS solutions will continue in the coming years.

Any new technology takes time to gain trust and demonstrate its value. SoftPOS solutions have proven to be highly effective and relevant worldwide. I am confident that within a few years, COTS terminals will become the primary payment method. We are proud to contribute to this evolution and help drive the industry forward.
