Corporate cards allowed to pay for "svet" and gas

In Uzbekistan, legal entities are allowed to pay utility bills online via mobile applications. The relevant order of the Chairman of the Board of the Central Bank has been state registered by the Ministry of Justice.

Accordingly, an amendment has been made to the Regulation on the Rules for the Issuance and Circulation of Bank Cards in the Territory of Uzbekistan, approved by the resolution of the Board of the Central Bank in April 2021.

Now legal entities can make payments for electricity and natural gas via mobile applications using corporate bank cards in the national currency.

The roadmap established by the presidential decree adopted in December 2024 stipulated the introduction of a system for legal entities to pay for electricity from a corporate card via mobile applications. The Central Bank, the Ministry of Digital Technologies, the Territorial Electric Networks, and the Hududgaztaminot were tasked with developing a draft regulatory legal act.

The decree provides for the possibility of paying off debts in installments instead of disconnecting debtors for electricity from the network. Amendments were made to the rules for the use of electricity and gas regarding payment for resources used in excess of the contractual amount during the billing period.
