Banking Fusion Uzbekistan 2026 is now underway in Tashkent!

We’ve just wrapped up the first half of the forum, and the momentum here is only growing.

Throughout the day, banking executives, fintech experts, and technology partners from across the region have been actively exchanging experience, discussing local market challenges, and exploring how financial institutions are adapting to rapidly changing customer expectations and technologies.

The forum atmosphere combines expert dialogue, live networking, technology showcases, and ongoing conversations around AI, digital banking infrastructure, automation, cybersecurity, and payment innovation. This is happening both onsite in Tashkent and through the online broadcast followed by part of the regional audience.

Today’s panel discussions and networking sessions have already sparked dozens of practical conversations between banks, partners, and technology providers, turning the forum into a space not only for presentations, but also for real collaboration and knowledge exchange.
