At the meeting in the State Tax Service, questions were raised regarding the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in the process of working with cashless payments. The main issues include high fees, delays in fund transfers, and difficulties with banking procedures.
Representatives from the State Tax Service, the National Bank, commercial banks, the Interbank Processing Center, and the Union of Banks of Kyrgyzstan participated in the discussion.
According to information from the tax service, entrepreneurs most often express dissatisfaction with high fees for processing cashless payments, delays in funds arriving in accounts, and the lack of payer information in bank statements when paying via QR codes.
