Mandatory cashless payments for certain services starting on April 1

Beginning April 1, 2026, new regulations will take effect introducing mandatory cashless payments for specific categories of services and purchases.

Under the updated requirements, the following transactions must be made exclusively in non-cash form:

Government service payments
Utility bill payments
Purchases of tobacco and alcoholic products
Payments at gas stations
Large purchases exceeding UZS 25 million

Garant bank recommends preparing in advance by ensuring your card is active, setting up the mobile banking app, and transitioning to convenient digital payment methods. For businesses, we also recommend installing a Garant bank payment terminal.

Cashless payments offer greater security, transparency, and time efficiency.
