According to information, launching of the system is delayed because of the problems arising on the head server of the Universal Postal Union (UPU).

The system was tested for the first time earlier this year. It is satisfactory. However, careful checking is required to run it in trial operation.The launch of the system in the trial operation will allow the Azerbaijani postal operator to offer two types of money transfer services. It is a traditional form of remittances which take three days, with money transfers to be finished in three hours. A legal document has already been signed with Ukraine. A similar document was also signed with Belarus. Azerbaijan intends to apply the STEFI system in the direction of the five countries by late 2011.
