The last five years of the Serbian and Montenegrin payment services markets have been marked by the introduction of new players: payment institutions and electronic money institutions. The competition among the established and emerging payment services providers is expected to intensify with further alignment of national laws and EU regulations, such as PSD2. Bosnia is currently lagging behind the regional trend, but it is moving in the same direction.

We have been the firm of choice for clients operating locally and in cross-border payment space.
