Uzbekistan’s payment landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, with a noticeable increase in the adoption of digital payment methods. While cash remains prevalent, especially in informal markets and rural areas, credit and debit card usage (Visa, Mastercard) is growing rapidly. Mobile money services are also expanding and playing a critical role in fostering financial inclusion. Online banking and electronic transfers are becoming more common, reflecting government efforts to modernize the financial system. This transition, however, faces challenges related to infrastructure development and fostering digital literacy across various population segments.
