Google Pay Becomes Available to Users in Uzbekistan
The information was confirmed by a Google Cloud representative at a forum in Samarkand
The global contactless payment platform Google Pay has been launched in Uzbekistan's financial market. The official start of the service was announced by Marcin Krasuski, a Google Cloud representative, during his speech at the thematic session "Digital Technologies" held as part of the international business dialogue in the "C5+1" format in Samarkand.
The full-scale introduction of the service in the country became possible due to the prolonged technical transformation of the banking sector. The Central Bank of the Republic, together with commercial banks and the operators Humo and Uzcard, implemented tokenization technologies for payment data. This created an infrastructure capable of efficiently processing transactions for both national currency cards of domestic systems and international cards such as Visa and Mastercard.
