Digital Banking: Innovative Approach and Progressive Solutions

The Halkbank Joint-Stock Commercial Bank of Turkmenistan has developed and introduced a new system – Digital Credit. The innovative system provides for remote customer service via the Internet, including the creation of benefits using a digital system in obtaining loans for citizens. The entire process of applying for a consumer loan takes place online using a special mobile application. In addition, the full automation of the innovative system allows checking the client’s credit history and determining the maximal loan amount in a matter of seconds, facilitating both borrowing and loan repayment. The received credit funds are credited to a bank card, which in turn directly contributes to an increase in the volume of non-cash payments in the country. It should be noted that large-scale work on the widespread use of the digital system in sectors of the economy of our country, including the banking sphere, is being successfully carried out. And here, using innovative technologies, it is especially important to improve the quality of banking services and to expand their range. Today, the country's banking sector has entered a trajectory of progressive and, at the same time, rapid development. The consistent implementation of banking innovations not only increases the volume of net profit of credit institutions, but also leads to an even more rational use of the time of ever

Seaside Vacation Is Recommended for Health

In the summer, during school holidays and work vacations, many choose to relax on the ecologically clean Turkmen shore of the Caspian Sea – in the Avaza national tourism zone. The healing properties of the coastal microclimate are an undeniable advantage of vacation. Studies have shown that sea air and water are similar in composition to human blood plasma, which has a positive effect on health. A holiday by the sea will not only give you relaxation, a boost of energy and strength, but will also improve your health and replenish the balance of microelements and vitamins in the body. Relaxing at sea for preventive and health purposes is recommended for people of any age. Doctors advise using the power of nature to benefit health in the presence of diagnoses such as chronic fatigue and depressive conditions, asthma and other lung diseases, hypertension, atherosclerosis and diseases of the nervous system.

Coastal Volcanoes

There are many natural monuments on the territory of our vast and sunny country, which gives ample opportunities for expanding the geography of the main directions of domestic tourism in the period of the Revival of the New Era of the Powerful State. In this regard, of high interest are hilly mud volcanoes, the ridges of which, forming a chain, stretch along the coast from the littoral Esenguly etrap all the way to the Cheleken Peninsula (at present Hazar). Among them are the “twins” Akpatlawuk and Gokpatlawuk and Chekishler, Keymir, Tuynukli, Porsy and Gaynagdepe, which differ in the depth of the crater and the height of the hill. There are a total of about 30 mud volcanoes on the territory of Turkmenistan. The Turkmen coastal residents called them “patlawuk”, which, in particular, is stated in the book of the Hero-Arkadag “Turkmenistan – the Land of Healing”.
