Bank of Baku is one of Azerbaijan’s leading retail and commercial banks, operating a nationwide network of ATMs and self-service kiosks. As the bank continued to modernise its infrastructure, it sought a proven technology partner capable of providing secure, future-proof cash-handling solutions.

This collaboration marks another milestone in JCM’s growing presence in the financial technology sector across Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region.

The procurement team needed a solution that could integrate smoothly into the bank’s ATM and kiosk network while significantly enhancing performance and counterfeit prevention.
JCM Global supplied the DBV-500 bill validator, an advanced device known for its exceptional accuracy, durability, and multi-currency capability. The DBV-500 provided immediate compatibility with Azerbaijani banknotes and allowed the bank to modernise its cash-handling systems with minimal disruption.
“When we began upgrading our network, we needed to replace old, unsupported units from previous suppliers,” said Ilkin Muslimzade, Procurement Manager at Bank of Baku.
“The DBV-500 has been the ideal solution — it supports all Azerbaijani currency and has delivered reliable, trouble-free performance since installation.”
In addition to the technology itself, JCM’s responsive local support via Altair Technologies and technical training ensured that the deployment was efficient and that in-house teams could manage ongoing maintenance confidently.
“The Bank of Baku partnership demonstrates how JCM’s banking solutions deliver measurable benefits in both performance and reliability. We’re proud to support such a forward-thinking financial institution and look forward to future collaboration,” says Elmir Khalilov, Product Manager Altair Technologies.
The success of this project has established a strong foundation for continued cooperation. The Bank of Baku team has indicated its intention to continue working with JCM on future orders as it expands and upgrades its ATM network.
