According to HayPost, a unified platform has been already created, the brand and logo having also been developed. The PosTransfer system envisages collection and payment of money transfers through the branch networks of postal operators, using various means of telecommunication, including mobile applications. Funds will become available for receipt immediately after the transfer in online mode, by the operational and technological standards of all the member states. The rest of member countries of UPU are expected to join PosTransfer later. The Universal Postal Union is an international intergovernmental organization and a UN agency that includes 193 countries.
