Uzum, a leading digital services ecosystem in Uzbekistan, is pleased to announce that it has been included by CB Insights in its eighth annual Fintech 100, showcasing the 100 most promising fintech companies in the world. The list features early- and mid-stage startups driving the evolution of fintech and is based on a range of quantitative and qualitative factors, including deal activity, industry partnerships, investor strength, hiring momentum, and CB Insights’ proprietary datasets.
Inclusion in the Fintech 100 recognises Uzum’s role as a standout innovator not just in Uzbekistan, but globally. It reflects the company’s success in building an inclusive, scalable financial infrastructure in one of the world’s most dynamic emerging markets. Fuelled by bold economic reforms, Uzbekistan has become a digital success story in Central Asia, with GDP exceeding \$100 billion and a population of over 37 million, growing by nearly one million people each year. More than half of this population now uses at least one of Uzum’s services every month — a testament to its platform’s reach, reliability, and relevance.
We’re honoured to be recognised by CB Insights as one of the world’s most promising fintech innovators. At Uzum, we are building a platform that goes beyond just payments — combining financial access, digital commerce, and logistics in one integrated ecosystem. This award is a testament to the dedication of our team and to Uzbekistan’s transformation into a regional digital leader.
