About Uzum Bank
Uzum Bank is the group's digital bank and, the company states, the leading one in Uzbekistan: a fully digital bank holding its own banking licence rather than riding on a partner's. It runs proprietary localised infrastructure for instant payment processing and fast card issuance, reports a thirteen per cent share of Uzbekistan's online payments market and total payment volume of $11.1 billion in 2025, and has issued more than five million Uzum cards powered by Visa.

About the owner: Uzum
Uzum is a privately held company headquartered in Uzbekistan. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control.
Uzum is Uzbekistan's largest digital ecosystem and, by its own account, the first IT company in the country to be valued at $2.3 billion. It combines e-commerce, express delivery, traditional and digital banking, instalment lending, a car marketplace and a platform for small businesses into one account, and says more than twenty million people — over half the population of Uzbekistan — use its services every month. It employs more than fourteen thousand people, builds its own logistics network across the country rather than renting one, and runs proprietary localised payment infrastructure rather than licensing a core banking system, which is the unusual part of its model for a market of this size. Its stated purpose is infrastructural rather than commercial: making advanced technology and quality service reach all thirty-eight million residents of Uzbekistan, including remote areas and small towns.
🇺🇿 Uzum Bank and other Uzbek brands
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 12 brands that began in Uzbekistan. 3 of them (25%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country; Uzum Bank is not one of them.
