Commenting soon after the announcement ABA Bank Chief IT Officer, Mr. Galym Temirov noted, “Since being first selected for this prestigious award in 2012 our IT system has continued to be improved significantly: we implemented applications to process payments for various services, such as mobile, CTV, Internet, utilities, etc. through our ATMs and branches.
