: Swinto is an innovative application that serves as a comprehensive financial platform, entering the financial market in Kosovo and Switzerland.

The platform was developed by Swinto JSC, a company registered in Kosovo and licensed by the Central Bank of Kosovo as a NBFI fully owned by Velanis AG, which is registered in Switzerland and has a strategic partnership agreement with Hypothekarbank Lenzburg AG.

The launch of the platform takes place tonight at 19:00, during an online event that is broadcast on all social networks of the company.

Swinto financial platform has entered the market as a solution which enables instant and free payment services and low cost money transactions for users in Kosovo and Switzerland, to later expand to other markets in the Western Balkans and Western Europe.

As such, Swinto aims to simplify payments and transfers and be a choice in the pocket of customers by offering the most advanced technologies.

Swinto Sh.a.

has made an in-depth analysis of the financial market of Kosovo and has concluded that there is a need for solutions that will enable final customers to have a suitable solution for digital payments and money transfers.

Therefore, Swinto is the only company in the market that offers free external transactions and is creating an ecosystem to generate added value for all participants, ranging from individuals, businesses, partner banks and other stakeholders.

Considering that transferring money from abroad is costly, time consuming, and a complex process for most people, and given the amount of remittances flowing to Kosovo, Swinto will offer the Albanian diaspora the opportunity to transfer money to their families, friends and relatives, immediately and at no cost.

At the same time, the Albanian diaspora and Kosovo residents will have the opportunity to spend their money through the application to business partners who provide services at points of sale, both payments and cash transactions.

In this way, Swinto offers the most innovative platform which fills the gap in payments and transfers between Albanians living in Kosovo and those living abroad.

The Swinto platform is offered for free as an app, which can be downloaded from both the Apple Store and Google Play.

Account opening and registration process takes less than 5 minutes in a very modern and user friendly interaction.

As an electronic money issuer, Swinto has designed a complete activation process for customers, ranging from identifying them, storing their personal data and photos, and verifying authenticity.

Upon successful completion of the verification process, customer details will be recorded and a written electronic agreement in accordance with the CBK Regulation on Electronic Payment Instruments will be drafted and transmitted to the customer for review.

If customers agree to the terms and conditions of the agreement,

Mr. Alban Nevzati, co-founder of the company states that “

The Swinto platform is intended to financially serve individuals who are not served by the financial market, to include clients in the financial system without distinction, and to contribute to the formalization of Kosovo's economy.

All of this is possible when using the Swinto app, which integrates different players into a dynamic ecosystem by adding value to each of them.

Swinto is an innovative financial platform built on the principles of open banking, which connects users and businesses with convenient, intelligent, instant, low-cost and secure payment methods.

On the other hand, Swinto will be the best solution to channel high volume remittances flowing to Kosovo every year.

In this way,
