Uzum Debuts on CNBC and Statista’s Global Fintech Rankings

The rankings serve as a benchmark for firms reshaping the financial landscape through scalable digital infrastructure. By operating without traditional physical branches, Uzum joins an elite group of international providers delivering banking services exclusively through digital channels. The selection process involved a rigorous evaluation by Statista, which analyzed both general business performance and specific industry KPIs to measure digital maturity and growth trajectories.

For the company, the inclusion highlights the rapid adoption of its integrated model. Over 6 million users currently utilize Uzum Bank cards, shifting away from standalone payment instruments toward an environment where financing, shopping, and money transfers function as a single, cohesive experience. Djasur Djumaev, CEO and Founder of Uzum, noted that this ecosystem approach allows the firm to scale rapidly while lowering barriers to modern financial tools across Uzbekistan. The recognition underscores a broader trend where embedded finance is becoming the primary driver for digital economic development in the region.
