About
Tekmates was founded in 2022 by a banker with 20 years of experience. The team includes former top bank executives and internationally recognized experts. In just three years, the company has become one of the fastest-growing IT firms in the region, delivering over 20 digital transformation projects for banks and fintech companies, reaching revenues exceeding $30 million across multiple countries, and setting a global benchmark by launching a fully digital bank in just six months. Tekmates helps financial institutions achieve their most ambitious goals.
Banker, entrepreneur, founder of Tekmates
Damir Kakiev
I spent many years in bank top management, building in-house teams and launching business lines from scratch. I often came across IT vendors with no business focus and poor-quality work, as well as consultants who did not understand banking processes. To bridge this gap, I founded Tekmates — a company that helps banks and fintech firms navigate the path of digital transformation.

We provide end-to-end solutions: from strategy and design to development and implementation. We build analytics, sales, customer service, marketing, risk management, and compliance — and take full responsibility for the results.

As a service company, we pay special attention to the quality of customer service and NPS levels. We work with precision and depth. That’s why Tekmates is a true partner in digital transformation.
Let’s schedule a meeting to discuss how we can achieve your most ambitious goals together.
