He hopes that his bank will remain at the forefront of this movement. To this end, Alfa-Bank was one of the first in the country to open its API for third-party mobile applications as a way to encourage startups and fintech innovations. The bank is also open for cooperation with startups and fintech companies and is providing its expertise within numerous projects it considers will add value to its clients\u2019 lives. Mr. Kosach hopes that, through leading by example, Alfa-Bank will encourage innovators to better understanding banking in the country as well as help banks overcome their conservative nature and embrace what fintech can do for the daily lives of Belarusians.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-8570 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='5 Central and Eastern European FinTech trends expected in the next 2 years'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/5-central-and-eastern-european-fintech-trends-expected-in-the-next-2-years\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/5-central-and-eastern-european-fintech-trends-expected-in-the-next-2-years-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12125\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12125'>\n\t\t\t\t5 Central and Eastern European FinTech trends expected in the next 2 years\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='National Bank of Kazakhstan preparing reforms that will affect online microlenders'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/national-bank-of-kazakhstan-preparing-reforms-that-will-affect-online-microlenders\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Artboard-1-\u043a\u043e\u043f\u0438\u044f-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-9862\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-9862'>\n\t\t\t\tNational Bank of Kazakhstan preparing reforms that will affect online microlenders\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Cyber-attacks underscore need for better cybersecurity measures'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/cyber-attacks-underscore-need-for-better-cybersecurity-measures\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/cyber-attacks-underscore-need-for-better-cybersecurity-measures-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-11224\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-11224'>\n\t\t\t\tCyber-attacks underscore need for better cybersecurity measures\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrey Kosach, top manager and board member of Belarus\u2019s Alfa-Bank, has observed that fintech in Belarus has been gaining traction in recent years and believes that this momentum will continue.
