Ak-Invest is a financial Institution regulated and supervised by Central Bank of Albania (very soon under the PSD2 legislative platform for Payment Service Providers), and AML Authorities. Licensed for: i. Payments instruments ii. Credits/Loans iii. Foreign Exchange and Trades iv. Money Transfer via MoneyGram Network Ak-Invest is founded in 2002/2003 as a Payment Service Provider (including trades) : Commercial Payments/ Cross Border Payments. In 2012, we have been licensed for Loans’ and Financing (crediting of our clients) that is being developed successfully in many product lines. We have built a sustainable network with our “Agents” – who offer our retail products to their customers as well. Our network is made of 200 + Agents’ Offices, where any customer can use any financial service they may need (MoneyGram, Utility bill payments, POS Cash Advance , loans, cross border payments etc). We have been servicing our clients in close collaboration with Domestic Banks ( it was easier especially with banks with which we had some preferential conditions on agreement). In November 2016, we were included in the Swift network (actually we are part of Swift as a full rights’ member). As a swift member, the domestic banks in Albania are being very robust and expensive in offering the mediation (they are conservative and very often it needs some extra development in their Information systems – which results in added value commissions).
