TBC Uzbekistan was recognized as one of the world’s top fintechs by CNBC and Statista.

The World’s Top Fintech Companies list, compiled by CNBC and Statista, is an important benchmark for the fintech industry. It is based on an in-depth analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs), such as revenue, profitability and other financial metrics, as well as number of customers, loan and deposit portfolio growth, transaction volume, market share, and staffing data.

TBC Uzbekistan’s ecosystem reached 19.7 million users and includes TBC UZ, the country’s largest digital bank, digital payments app Payme, BNPL business Payme Nasiya and TBC Insurance. It was included in the world’s top fintechs list in the neobanking category, reflecting the digital banking powerhouse’s rapid growth and high profitability, as well as its commitment to bringing best-in-class, fully digital financial services to Central Asia’s most populous nation.

Nika Kurdiani, CEO of TBC Uzbekistan, commented: “It is a real honour for TBC to become the first and only business from Uzbekistan and Central Asia included in The World’s Top Fintech Companies list of 2025. We are grateful that the rapid, profitable growth we continue to achieve in the country, while staying committed to innovation, has not gone unnoticed by the international community. Uzbekistan is one of the most exciting, high-growth markets for digital financial services globally, and we are proud to be leading the way consistently raising the bar for innovative financial services in the country. Being recognized by CNBC and Statista stands testament to both TBC’s success in Uzbekistan to date and the country’s overall development - but this is just the beginning, as we continue to diversify our product offering and build out our ecosystem.”

TBC Uzbekistan continues to expand its offering as it further builds out a comprehensive digital ecosystem for all its users’ financial and lifestyle needs. Over the past year, it has launched and scaled a wide range of new products, including Salom Card, its flagship debit card and daily banking product, Osmon Credit Card, TBC Business banking and lending, as well as TBC Insurance. In June 2025, TBC Uzbekistan also announced the acquisition of a majority stake in BILLZ, the country’s leading retail SaaS management platform, to enhance its reach into the strategically important SME segment.
