Key Highlights
  • The rising adoption of contactless payments in transportation is aiding its usage. For instance, in February 2025, BKM and Kentkart, a Turkish technology company specializing in smart transit solutions, partnered to enable contactless public transport payments via bank cards, credit cards, and NFC-enabled phones across 24 cities. The collaboration leverages BKM's national payment infrastructure and Kentkart's transit expertise to eliminate the use of cash and tickets. This initiative also aims to modernize Turkiye's transit systems using domestic technology such as TROY payment cards, while offering convenience to customers and reducing reliance on foreign payment solutions.
  • Instant payment transfers via Fast Payments are gaining traction in the country. To capitalize, the central bank introduced the new FAST Request-to-Pay overlay service in February 2024. This service allows the payee to initiate a payment request to the payer, offering various benefits to the payment ecosystem. It is expected to enhance electronic order payments and facilitate corporate invoice settlements. In January 2025, the service was expanded to cater to corporate users, broadening its applications to include business-to-business transactions. This enhancement enables companies to initiate request-to-pay demands when engaging with individual users. Additionally, the service now supports ‘partial payment’ and ‘early payment’ functions across all payment types, while the ‘delay payment’ feature has been activated specifically for payments initiated by corporate users.
  • Competition has intensified further in Turkiye’s banking sector as the fintech firm Papara signed an agreement to acquire T-Bank (Turkland Bank), a digital-only bank, in March 2024. This strategic acquisition will enable Papara, a fintech platform offering services such as money transfers, bill payments, and prepaid cards, to venture into the traditional banking realm, thereby increasing competition among current market participants. The acquisition is subject to approvals from the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) and the Competition Board.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
