In the first half of 2026, Uzbekistan’s commercial banks prevented over 18 million fraudulent transactions worth more than 461 billion soums, according to the Central Bank’s press service.
The top 10 banks accounted for 3.9 million cases, while the remaining banks handled 14.2 million. Antivirus systems embedded in mobile apps restricted access to 1.28 million devices and removed malware from 2 million devices. Banks have also rolled out session-based anti-fraud systems that evaluate transaction risk levels and restrict suspicious activity whenever high risk is detected.
