(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 25. Foreign tourists visiting Azerbaijan will soon be able to make payments directly in their native currencies or in U.S. dollars, Javid Guliyev, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of PASHA Bank, announced during a press conference dedicated to the bank's 2025 financial results, Trend reports.

According to the CEO, when Azerbaijani citizens make card purchases abroad, they are currently presented with a choice to pay in either the local currency, Azerbaijani manats, or U.S. dollars.

"We are now working to implement this exact approach within Azerbaijan. Consequently, when tourists from the UAE, the U.S., the UK, or Asian countries settle bills at hotels, restaurants, and other tourism facilities in Azerbaijan, PASHA Bank terminals will offer them the option to pay in their country's national currency or in U.S. dollars, alongside the manat," Guliyev explained.
