TBC Uzbekistan, the leading digital banking ecosystem in Central Asia and a subsidiary of the London-listed TBC Bank Group, has been recognized among the world’s top fintech companies in the neobanking category. This marks the first time a company from Uzbekistan or the wider Central Asia region has received such global recognition.

The prestigious list, compiled by CNBC and Statista, evaluates fintechs based on key performance indicators such as revenue, profitability, user base, growth in loan and deposit portfolios, transaction volumes, market share, and employee metrics. Inclusion in the ranking reflects exceptional performance and global competitiveness.

TBC Uzbekistan’s ecosystem has grown to 19.7 million users and includes:

• TBC UZ – the country’s largest digital bank

• Payme – a leading digital payments app

• Payme Nasiya – a growing buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) platform

• TBC Insurance – a full-stack digital insurance provider

CEO Nika Kurdiani commented:

“It is a real honor for TBC to be the first company from Uzbekistan and Central Asia featured in The World’s Top Fintech Companies 2025 list. Our recognition reflects not only our rapid and profitable growth, but also Uzbekistan’s emergence as one of the most exciting digital finance markets globally. This is just the beginning.”

TBC Uzbekistan continues to broaden its offerings to serve a wide range of financial and lifestyle needs. Over the past year, the company has launched:

• Salom Card, its flagship debit product

• Osmon Credit Card

• TBC Business – a platform for SME banking and lending

• TBC Insurance

In June 2025, TBC Uzbekistan also acquired a majority stake in BILLZ, the country’s leading SaaS platform for retail businesses, strengthening its position in the SME segment.
