Plans and visions
 
The Group announces a number of new features and innovations for its customers in 2021. The key project is the super-app, integrating financial services of several apps used so far.
 
Conotoxia plans to enable adding the card to Google Pay and Apple Pay so the clients could pay in traditional stores using a phone or a smartwatch. Also, there are steps to enable withdrawing funds from a given loan to a multi-currency card and the possibility of applying for debit on the card. Loans will also be incorporated into currency exchange and money transfers.
 
In the case of money transfers service, the Group plans to launch the most popular payment method in the U.S. — Online Banking, which will increase accessibility and convenience.
 
Among others, Fintech announces payments via PayPal and Apple Pay in Conotoxia Pay for business customers. It also plans to introduce a subscription-based currency audit service in the PRO version.
