About Banking in Azerbaijan
Azerbaijani banks operate under the supervision of the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan (Azษrbaycan Respublikasฤฑnฤฑn Mษrkษzi Bankฤฑ) and serve a growing oil-revenue-driven economy. Azerbaijan follows a standard Saturday-Sunday weekend. The banking sector is led by the International Bank of Azerbaijan (IBA) โ the largest state-owned bank โ alongside ABB (Azerbaijan Business Bank), Kapital Bank, AccessBank, and PASHA Bank. Standard branch hours are 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, with many branches open Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Azerbaijan observes 13 public holidays annually including Novruz Bayramฤฑ (March 20-24) โ a 5-day spring celebration that creates the longest consecutive bank closure of the year. Republic Day (May 28) and Victory Day (June 26) are uniquely Azerbaijani holidays. The AzษrGold and local payment systems process domestic transfers but international transfers require SWIFT through IBA or other major banks. Mobile banking adoption is growing rapidly in Baku particularly among younger customers.
