TBC Bank Uzbekistan, one of the country’s largest digital banks, is expanding its TBC Salom debit card programme through a new partnership with UZCARD, with the two companies targeting up to 1m additional cards during the initial phase.

UZCARD becomes the latest issuing partner for TBC Salom, joining Humo and Visa. The companies said the partnership can be expanded further as the programme develops. The deal comes as demand for TBC Salom continues to grow. Since launching in late 2024, card issuance has increased more than tenfold, reaching 1.2m active cards as of 30 June 2026.

TBC Salom offers customers 12% annual interest on deposits, 5% cashback with participating merchants and fee-free cash transfers and ATM withdrawals. The new UZCARD version also gives customers access to reduced fares through ATTO, the payment system used across Uzbekistan’s public transport network.

The bank said the new feature is designed to make the card more useful for everyday spending and transport. As part of the launch, new UZCARD cardholders will also receive 5% cashback on every purchase during their first month after activation. The promotional offer runs until 31 December 2026.

The expansion forms part of TBC Bank Uzbekistan’s wider strategy to increase customer activity across its digital financial ecosystem. Alongside TBC Salom, the group’s TBC Osmon credit card provides a route into additional services including lending, buy now, pay later (BNPL), business banking, insurance, travel and ticketing.

TBC Uzbekistan operates a broader digital ecosystem serving both consumers and businesses. Its consumer offering combines TBC UZ’s digital banking services with Payme, while TBC Business and BILLZ focus on business banking.
