Ozan started 2025 well with a revitalised vision to pick up the pace of financial transformation for clients through a comprehensive array of financial technologies. The new leadership team is dedicated to delivering more innovative and proactive solutions targeting a broader range of sectors. Their efforts have already paid off: Ozan set consecutive transaction volume and revenue records in December ’24 and January ’25.

“Implementing Sustainable Growth on a Global Scale”—Özgür Gerçek

Özgür Gerçek, the newly appointed CEO of Ozan SuperApp, emphasised the company’s dedication to providing proactive, user-centric solutions powered by cutting-edge technologies. “The past year was exciting and transformative for both Ozan and the fintech sector. With our renewed team, we’re launching 2025 with a powerful, innovative drive that our clients will appreciate in an increasingly competitive market. Ozan’s new appointments are an investment in the future as we are ready for a further innovative leap ahead. While our 2025 business strategy and objectives align with our key ambition to place Ozan firmly among the top three fintech companies in Turkiye, we will also implement our sustainable growth plan on a global scale,” revealed Gerçek.

“Simplifying Operational Processes with Tailored Financial Solutions”—Eren Kumcuoğlu

Eren Kumcuoğlu, COO of Ozan SuperApp, highlighted the company’s focus on sector-specific solutions in the new era. “We simplify the operational processes of our business partners in the e-commerce, retail, and service sectors through tailored financial solutions, contributing to their revenue growth. Our solutions extend beyond Virtual POS and Physical POS; we offer flexible infrastructures suitable for every business model through our wallet and card payment solutions, aiming to lead the financial transformation of various sectors. By focusing on financial inclusion, we aim to become not only the best collection tool for businesses but also their strategic growth partner,” noted Kumcuoğlu.

“Our Customers Can Future-proof in the Product Ecosystem” —Cenk Küçükiravul

Cenk Küçükiravul, CPO of Ozan SuperApp, who recently joined to enhance the company’s product management processes, stated, “We design our product ecosystem not only to meet our customers’ current needs but also in a way they can future-proof against financial conditions they may face. Our product development strategy aims to find innovative solutions that simplify our customers’ business processes while giving them a competitive advantage in trade. With our existing licenses plus our upcoming FAST membership, we will offer both domestic and international money transfers at affordable costs (FAST is Turkiye’s 24/7 instant payment system enabling real-time money transfers between bank accounts in Turkish Lira). Furthermore, we will increase our financial capabilities to provide customers with different financial products under a single roof. When it comes to open banking and brand-new products, we will continue making a real difference in the market.

The Year Ahead: A Complete, End-to-End Financial Experience

One of the notable focus areas for Ozan SuperApp in 2024 was its strategic initiatives in e-export. The company developed specialised solutions for e-exporting companies that increased Turkiye’s foreign currency inflow and utilised its export potential. Ozan will continue to offer such inclusive solutions. Another important item on Ozan’s 2025 agenda is to implement international money transfer solutions for both individuals and companies. Ozan may become an important player in the sector fast with competitive pricing and a great user experience. At the same time, it will offer instant money transfer opportunities for its users by completing the FAST integration. Another important topic for Ozan is to launch open banking products and services in 2025. With the finalisation of all processes, Ozan will provide a complete end-to-end financial experience that is innovative and comprehensive.

Employee Satisfaction is Clearly Top Priority

Ozan’s new management has quickly put in place many policies that prioritise employee satisfaction in 2025. Significant improvements have been made in employees’ fringe benefits, and new practices have been implemented to improve employee morale, offering a more meaningful work life. From special welcome packages to cashback opportunities, from unlimited, comprehensive private health insurance to professional courses or fun meet-ups, ensuring employees are happy, motivated and loyal is clearly a top priority at Ozan.

Two Important Names Signed onto Ozan’s Board of Directors

Ozan’s board of directors is also bolstered by the addition of two valuable names: The newly appointed Ömer Duman, who brings more than 30 years of experience in the finance and public sectors, has held high-level positions in many important public institutions, such as the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, particularly the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkiye. İbrahim Hakkı Polat, who joins with more than 25 years of experience, has led the prevention of financial crimes and compliance with international financial standards throughout his professional life, in addition to critical duties such as Deputy Chairman of MASAK and Chairman of MASAK (Türkiye’s Financial Crimes Investigation Board).
