Ozan Elektronik Para and AUSTRIACARD Join Forces to Introduce 'Ozan Card'
After launching Ozan SuperApp in February 2021, Ozan Elektronik Para prepares to offer "Ozan Card" in cooperation with AUSTRIACARD. Ozan Card will be on the market in the last quarter of 2021 with surprising, brand-new features.
ISTANBUL, July 7, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Ozan Elektronik Para continues to announce major collaborations one after another, the latest of these being for the long-anticipated Ozan Card. Adopting the motto "We work with the world's best" in selecting its partners, Ozan Elektronik Para has entrusted Ozan Card's printing, distribution, and operational processes to AUSTRIACARD. AUSTRIACARD is a leading card operation company on a global scale and has a customization operation center in Turkey. AUSTRIACARD holds certificates issued by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and Troy card schemes.
Ozan Elektronik Para had announced its Visa membership in February 2021 and UnionPay membership in March 2021, highlighting its aim to become "a global fintech". Ozan Elektronik Para announced their plans to add other major global card schemes to their portfolio soon, following up on their claim to their users to be "a card valid everywhere in the world".
Ozan Elektronik Para Founder Dr Ozan Ozerk says:
"A physical card's look and feel are critical, as physical cards often are seen as brand ambassadors for fintechs trying to attract new users. We are very proud to take on this journey together with AUSTRIACARD. Starting with Turkey, Ozan SuperApp hopes to benefit from the vast knowledge of the AUSTRIACARD team as we expand our physical card offering across Europe and into the U.S."
Ozan Elektronik Para CEO Ömer Suner says:
"We are excited to introduce the highly anticipated Ozan Card to our users soon. The prepaid Ozan Card will make a difference in terms of both usage and design and be valid everywhere in the world. Ozan Card will also be integrated into Ozan SuperApp as a virtual card. This takes us another step forward towards our goal of turning Ozan SuperApp into a full-fledged SuperApp. We are also collaborating with popular retailers and digital channels to make Ozan Card easily accessible to our users.
"At this point, I am really happy to collaborate with AUSTRIACARD, one of the best card operations centers in Turkey and the world, and I trust them so much. Although forming these collaborations may sound trivial, they require significant planning and operational power. I would like to thank them once again on behalf of the Ozan Elektronik Para team for their support during this process. We will form and maintain such successful collaborations without pause to make our users happy."
