In March of this year, a press conference was held at the headquarters of UZCARD on the topic “Your Instant UZCARD.” During the event, company representatives announced a new service available for participating banks in the UZCARD payment system, allowing for the instant issuance of new UZCARDs with NFC support for bank customers.
As demonstrated at the press conference, the personalization process for a UZCARD, from the moment a customer requests it to its issuance and activation, takes about 5 minutes. The new UZCARDs are embossed dual cards, which can be used for both contact and contactless payments using NFC technology in retail outlets, ATM services, and “one-touch” payments for public transport.
The previously announced list of UZCARD payment system participant banks offering the distributed issuance service for UZCARD plastic cards is continually expanding.
Now, new UZCARDs with NFC support can be obtained at Xalq Banki branches across the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Currently, the instant issuance of UZCARDs is available at the following banks:
- JSC “National Bank for Foreign Economic Activity of the Republic of Uzbekistan”
- JSCB “Agrobank”
- JSC “Asakabank”
- JSCB “ASIA ALLIANCE BANK”
- JSC “Garant Bank”
- JSCB “DAVR Bank”
- JSCB “Hamkorbank”
- JSC “People’s Bank”
This coverage extends to approximately 50% of the bank branches in the republic.
The UZCARD team is actively moving towards the development and implementation of modern services and tools for the participating banks of the payment system, which will continuously contribute to a high level of customer service and a new consumer experience. The company’s plans for 2023 include supporting the connection of all bank branches in the country to the instant issuance service, thus ensuring the availability, speed, and convenience of obtaining embossed UZCARDs for every customer in any part of the country.
