Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between the development of digital payment systems and the level of access to financial services in Uzbekistan. The study examines data from 2020–2024, focusing on digital banking, mobile payments, QR-code transactions, and the growth of individual bank accounts.
The findings show that the expansion of digital payment infrastructure has significantly improved financial accessibility, reduced informal cash circulation, and promoted the growth of the digital economy.
