The agreement was reached during a meeting of the banks’ executives on November 10, 2026, in Dushanbe. Direct correspondent accounts will allow transactions to bypass intermediaries, cutting processing times and costs for corporate clients.
The parties also discussed expanding cooperation in trade finance to support export-import contracts, as well as scaling foreign exchange operations. Orienbank noted that the partnership opens direct settlement channels with CIS and European countries.
