Pension payments have switched to the biometric system

A new procedure has been introduced for pension payments. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

From now on, cash settlements in the regions are carried out through biometric identification, that is, facial recognition. Starting from October, citizens' identities will be verified using a camera, and signatures will be obtained electronically.

This information was provided by the Pension Fund's official sources. The main goal of the new system is to reduce human error during the payment process and increase transparency.

Thus, funds that are marked as "paid" in the account but were not actually delivered to the citizen or were given to another person will be recovered. Each transaction leaves a clear digital trace, and the person who received the payment is identified.

The procedure is organized very simply. When a pensioner arrives at the payment point, the staff checks their documents and performs the facial recognition process.

Once the face is correctly identified, cash is handed over and the signature is electronically accepted via a tablet. This method reduces paper circulation and ensures that reports are automatically entered into the system.

This innovation is especially important in remote areas. Cases of someone else collecting money or loss of paper documents will decrease.

The control mechanism works together with facial recognition, time, and location data, and any discrepancies are immediately detected. Some questions may arise during practice.

If a technical problem occurs during facial recognition or the citizen cannot pass verification, the staff resolves the issue by checking and comparing additional documents. Provisions are also planned to assist elderly or mobility-impaired citizens.

Detailed information about this is provided at local payment points. Officials emphasize that with the help of digital traces, fraud cases are detected faster and payment discipline is strengthened.

Most importantly, the rightful person receives their money on time and in the correct amount. Each transaction is recorded in the system and can be reviewed later.

This increases responsibility and control. If any questions arise regarding the new procedure, it is recommended to ask the staff at the pension payment point for detailed guidance.

It is useful to obtain information in advance about the payment day, the list of required documents, and the service schedule. In case of complaints or technical problems, it is possible to contact the Pension Fund and the call center of the servicing bank.

In conclusion, switching to the biometric verification system increases transparency and trust in cash pension payments. Effective fight against fraud, timely delivery of funds to the rightful person, and automation of reporting are the main achievements of this new stage (source: Pension Fund).
