This is important for Kyrgyzstan as the country continues to develop its digital space.<\/p>\n<p>The number of internet users in the country was 5.24 million (85% of the population) at the beginning of 2017 and is expected to continue to grow as internet penetration into rural areas increases. Moreover, the total number of bank payment cards in circulation in Kyrgyzstan has increased by about 37% every year. All of this means that the country is likely to see more and more demand for goods and services that can be ordered and paid for online.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-9587 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='New project to boost access to digital finance'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/new-project-to-boost-access-to-digital-finance\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/New-project-to-boost-access-to-digital-financ-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-6755\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/New-project-to-boost-access-to-digital-financ-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/New-project-to-boost-access-to-digital-financ-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-6755'>\n\t\t\t\tNew project to boost access to digital finance\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='BFC FinTech Monitor 21st \u2013 28th December'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/bfc-fintech-monitor-21st-28th-december\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/d6fea89f-bcc9-4432-a9b9-927bca4c579d1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-15651\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-15651'>\n\t\t\t\tBFC FinTech Monitor 21st \u2013 28th December\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Pay with a smile'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/pay-with-a-smile\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/pay-with-a-smile-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-14496\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-14496'>\n\t\t\t\tPay with a smile\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uniteller and Optima Bank have joined forces to launch a new online payment service, meaning that a number of additional services may now be paid online using Visa bankcards.
