Uzbekistan’s Octobank used the specialized platform PLUS Forum Digital Uzbekistan 2026 to present an updated line of business services. The bank focused on corporate lending, acquiring, and cross-border payments.
What happened
At the industry forum held on May 19–20, the bank’s team showcased credit solutions for legal entities: Octo-Auto, Octo-Invest, and Octo-Turnover. According to the bank’s press center, whose statement is cited by Podrobno.uz, the base rate for these products starts at 21%. In addition to lending, the bank presented solutions in international settlements and acquiring.
A separate detail was an ESG initiative. The bank used the same exhibition stand for the third time. According to the company’s estimates, opting out of new construction saved about 300 million soums. The funds were transferred to the Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Pediatric Oncology, Hematology, and Immunology.
Country and market
Uzbekistan. The presentation took place on the sidelines of PLUS Forum Digital Uzbekistan 2026, which was held in the country for the sixth time and gathered over 2,600 participants. Octobank acted as the title sponsor of the event.
Deputy Chairman of the Bank’s Management Board Roman Tretyakov presented the strategy for working with small and medium-sized businesses at a separate session. According to him, the company is building a digital environment for business scaling, which includes simplified access to financing and the digitization of routine processes.
Why it matters
The public promotion of the B2B direction shows Octobank’s desire to go beyond basic cash and settlement services. The company is betting on a comprehensive approach for the corporate sector, combining lending, acquiring, and international transfers.
Participating in major industry events as a title sponsor confirms the bank’s ambitions to establish itself as an infrastructure partner for Uzbek business.
What’s next
So far, the bank has only announced a base rate starting at 21%. The public disclosure does not specify whether it is an effective rate, in what currency the funds are issued, and what the full fee structure is. To assess the real attractiveness of the line, the market will have to see the full terms of the products, including limits and collateral requirements.
