Behind this trend are specific reasons: the rise in dollar expenditures, the shift to digital services, and the demand for transparent cost control.

Banking infrastructure does not provide the necessary flexibility. Users face blockages, hidden fees, and restrictions on foreign payments. As a result, companies are turning to fintech services…
