The Central Bank of Uzbekistan has released data on the state of the country's payment infrastructure as of June 1, 2026. According to the report, 73.6 million bank cards are in circulation, and the volume of receipts through payment terminals in the first five months of the year reached 256.8 billion soums.

The regulator reported that over 445,000 payment terminals and nearly 46,500 ATMs and infokiosks have been installed across the republic.

Xalq bank issued the most bank cards with 11.8 million, followed by Uzum Bank (6.8 million), Agrobank (6.7 million), Ipoteka-bank (5.6 million), and Hamkorbank (4.9 million).

Hamkorbank leads in the number of payment terminals with about 65,000 devices. Milliy bank ranks second with 42,000 terminals, and Xalq bank third with 34,000.

In terms of ATMs and infokiosks, Xalq bank tops the list with 3,132 units, followed by Agrobank (1,823) and Kapitalbank (1,664).
