    Finance 28 December 2021 1892

    In order to implement the Decree of President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the approval of the strategy "digital Uzbekistan-2030" and measures for its effective implementation", the payment systems "Uzcard" and "Humo" have come to the end of the first stage of mutual integration - a demonstration of payment acceptance at the terminals of both systems was held.

    According to the press service of the Central Bank, in near future the cashier will not need offer various terminals for each card - it will be able to have one device that will serve both payment systems.

    On December 27, 2021, the payment systems "Uzcard" and "Humo" demonstrated payment acceptance at the terminals of both systems. Previously, there were restrictions in terminals, but now one terminal will be able to serve both "Uzcard" and "Humo" cards. Cooperation of payment systems will make it possible to more actively identify market needs and implement the necessary solutions.

    In order for the terminal to start accepting both types of cards, it needs to be updated. In the future, banks will receive instructions with the necessary steps to implement such an update.

    Within the framework of the memorandum on integration, the companies will continue cooperation in the following directions:

    • protection of the interests of cardholders, banks, payment organizations and retail outlets;
    • improving technologies and expanding infrastructure to stimulate non-cash payments;
    • implementation of projects to ensure the reliability and information security of the payment infrastructure.
