Ameriabank hosts Investor Day to explore growth opportunities in finance and technology

ArmInfo. Ameriabank's  Investor's Day initiative this time has united Armenia's tech  community. The day before (April 16), the Bank invited  representatives of the Union of Advanced Technology Enterprises  (UATE),  which unites over 250 tech companies, to its platform.  Ameriabank itself is a member of UATE since 2025, acting as a  changemaker in the sector.

The goal of this collaboration is to form a fintech ecosystem and a  new culture of interaction that will foster development and progress  in both the financial and tech sectors. Introducing the Investor's  Day initiative to journalists, Diana Hakobyan, Ameriabank's  Co-Director of Foreign Exchange and Brokerage, noted that by holding  this event, the bank has taken on a challenging and important  mission: to develop an investment mindset  and a literate investment  culture in the country. This is a monthly platform for networking and  discussing investment-related topics. It brings together specialists  and investors who can get answers to their questions. As interest in  investing grows in the country, the number of clients and the number  of questions grows, the need for such platforms has arisen," Hakobyan  emphasized.

This is the ninth time Ameriabank has held Investor's Day. The  decision to invite representatives from the technology sector, she  explained, was driven by its development trends and the significant  potential for fostering an investment culture. "This is one of the  most active groups among our clients-they actively use Ameriabank's  My Invest platform," the expert noted. Hakobyan emphasized that one  of the advantages of My Invest is its simultaneous access to over 30  international financial markets and over 20,000 stocks and bonds. The  platform allows clients to monitor stock exchange prices in real time  and execute trades automatically, quickly, and without  intermediaries. She noted that Ameriabank's share of the stock  exchange's corporate securities market reaches 80%.

"This is the most active platform on the exchange, and the number of  clients is growing. This has been facilitated by providing direct  access: clients buy and sell through My Invest independently (without  intermediaries) and see prices in real time, which also contributes  to the exchange's development," Hakobyan added.

Sargis Karapetyan, Executive Director of the Union of Advanced  Technology Enterprises, noted that the MyInvest platform also offers  bonds from UITE Expo, a 100%-owned company. He recalled that these  are Impuct Bonds, issued earlier this year. According to Karapetyan,  50% of the shares have already been sold for 750 million drams, with  the ultimate goal of attracting 1.5 billion drams in investments. He  noted that the cooperation with Ameriabank is developing in two  directions: "On the one hand, we help financial companies utilize  technology, and on the other, we develop an understanding of the tech  sector's needs and the necessary products, thereby facilitating the  accelerated development of the tech sector in Armenia."

He clarified that the event, is an attempt to better introduce the  tech sector to financial instruments from an investment perspective,  as the sector is known to be actively developing and offering  opportunities for attracting and implementing investments.

Edita Ghazaryan, Deputy Director of the Union, noted that a long-term  partnership is being built with Ameriabank, as the bank shares their  vision of transforming Armenia into a technology powerhouse and is  ready to contribute to achieving this goal. "This understanding is  evident among top management levels.  Since the bank joined the Union  as a member moving along this transformation path, numerous events  are planned, and cooperation will not be limited to current  initiatives - a more robust and strategic collaboration is expected,"  she added.

Armen Kocharyan, Chairman of the Union of Advanced Technology  Companies, noted that the technology market is already moving beyond  the stage of technological solutions to the formation of  capital-forming companies. Naturally, the time is approaching when  this capital, strategies, and technologies must be consolidated, and  strategic cooperation with Ameriabank appears a logical step for more  intelligent development of the accumulated capital and investment  portfolio. He also emphasized that cooperation with Ameriabank is  developing in the right format and at the right time, as the  technology market is moving to a new stage - from formation to  sustainability, capital, and strategic development.
