Uzbekistan aims to become Central Asia’s leading hub for financial technology by implementing a large-scale strategy for the development of the fintech ecosystem for 2025–2030.

In particular, Uzbekistan hopes to enter the Global Fintech Index by 2030 and ensure annual growth of the fintech market by 20%. The strategy is based on the creation of an innovation hub that will transform Uzbekistan into a regional center of innovation.

According to Central Bank of Uzbekistan data cited by UzDaily, the country’s fintech sector is expanding rapidly: the number of companies has grown from 24 in 2018 to 103 in 2025.

Payment services account for the largest share of the market (53.8%).

In 2024, Uzbekistan attracted $69.5 million in venture capital, with fintech projects capturing 83.5% of the total.

Despite its dynamic growth, the industry faces a number of limitations. More than half of fintech companies (54%) are limited to payment solutions, reflecting insufficient market diversification. Limited access to GooglePay and ApplePay remains a significant barrier.
