Yandex Go and local payment apps like Payme and Click are central to daily life. Set them up early as some require a local SIM. Uber and Grab do not operate here. Cash (Uzbek Som) is still important in bazaars and smaller towns.
Payment & Finance Apps
Payme
Essential
One of Uzbekistan's leading digital payment super-apps offering QR payments, money transfers, and merchant services.
Pro tip: Many restaurants and shops in Tashkent accept Payme QR. Saves hunting for change.
Click
Nice to have
A super-app with over 20 million users covering payments, transfers, and utility bills.
Pro tip: Often accepted at places that don't take Payme. Having both covers most scenarios.
