A significant investment has been attracted for the digital development of Uzbekistan's economy. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
VR Capital, one of the world's leading international investors, has invested 300 billion soums in the Uzum platform. These funds will be directed towards the development of the platform's digital banking services and payment infrastructure.
This agreement represents the second cooperation deal between VR Capital and Uzum. It is worth noting that in 2025, VR Capital became one of the main investors of Uzum.
This situation once again confirms investors' confidence in the prospects of Uzbekistan's digital economy. The newly attracted funds will help further develop Uzum platform's fintech directions, including digital banking, payment systems, and consumer lending services.
Moreover, this deal is a clear indication of the strengthening economic cooperation between Uzbekistan and the USA. Uzum's founder, Jasur Jo'maev, emphasized that this financing will not only accelerate the company's but also the country's economic digital development pace.
Most importantly, the investment was allocated in the national currency, demonstrating the increasing status of the soum in international financial operations. Richard Deyts, president of VR Capital Group, highly appreciated Uzum's growth rates and expressed support for the platform's contribution to digital transformation.
Today, Uzum has become the country's largest digital platform by integrating online trade, digital and traditional banking, as well as fintech services within its ecosystem. More than 20 million people in Uzbekistan actively use this platform.
