Thanks to the digitalization policy pursued by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and national leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, in recent years, the population of Turkmenistan has become available services such as purchasing plane and train tickets on the Internet, as well as remote payment for telephone and Internet.
One of the tools for obtaining such services is the Saraý mobile application - a multifunctional Internet platform that allows its users to solve several problems at once related to remote payment, buying tickets and searching for information about goods.
The Saraý application was released in 2019. At that time, it was a platform for posting commercial advertisements and making online payments.
Using the Saraý application, users can easily find information about a wide variety of products - real estate, cars, electronics and household appliances, building materials, clothing, furniture. Saraý also contains advertisements in such sections as “Services”, “Shops”, “Cafes”. Using this application, you can search for vacancies, receive services for organizing weddings and other celebrations, order various consumer goods online and much more.
Currently, one of the most popular features of the Saraý app is online ticket purchasing. Using the application and a bank card, it is easy to purchase plane tickets (for domestic flights) and trains. Quick registration using a mobile number, clear navigation and the ability to return purchased tickets make Saraý one of the most popular applications of this kind in Turkmenistan.
Saraý allows residents of small towns and even remote settlements of Turkmenistan to quickly purchase train or plane tickets online without having to travel to the nearest train station or Turkmen Airlines ticket office.
Also, with the help of Saraý, it is easy to pay for such communication services as home telephone, IP-TV and AGTS Internet (available for residents of Ashgabat), home unlimited Internet of the Turkmentelecom company, Belet Film online cinema, replenish your mobile phone account, and also pay for travel fines for drivers. If you have a plastic card from one of the banks of Turkmenistan, payment is made in a few clicks and in a matter of seconds.
In order to provide users with online services, Saraý fruitfully cooperates with the Türkmendemirýollary and Türkmenhowaýollary Agencies, as well as the Transport and Communications Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan Türkmenaragatnaşyk.
The Saraý app is available for download on Google Play and the App Store. It also has its own web version, but without the ability to pay for services and purchase tickets.
