TBC Bank in Uzbekistan (TBC UZ) is solely a mobile digital banking application that was initially launched in Georgia in 2019 as Space Neo Bank – a fintech platform delivering daily retail banking solutions and digital financial services via a mobile application. Space Bank is devoid of any branches and service centres and exists only within its mobile application. After several years of operations in Georgia, Space Bank facilitated an exclusive customer experience in the digital space by continually filtering its performance to the highest standards that allowed the bank to emerge into international markets. Uzbekistan is the foremost country into which TBC Bank Group extended its operations in 2020 via mobile banking as a service platform dubbed Space.

TBC UZ – A Facet of TBC Bank Group

TBC Uzbekistan is a subsidiary of TBC Bank Group PLC, a company listed on the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange since 2016. TBC Bank Group PLC is a holding company of JSC TBC Bank, TBC UZ, Payme (the second-largest payment service provider in Uzbekistan) and other companies that primarily conduct operations in Georgia in the financial sector and other closely related fields. TBC plays an essential role in Georgia’s economy, as its total assets amount to 40% of the country’s GDP and its loan portfolio to 28.2% of GDP.

As a technology-driven company with the mission of making people’s lives easier, TBC offers products and services to customers that place Georgia on the global innovations map. The firm holds a dominant position in all major business lines that are comprised of retail, corporate, and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The company’s financial services include traditional banking offerings as well as leading-edge solutions for the industry.

TBC Digital 2

In the face of the global pandemic and its challenges in 2020, TBC Bank Group expanded its digital operations outside of Georgia by entering into new markets in Uzbekistan. The banking license was attained in summer 2020 and was followed by the launching of the mobile application in October 2020. This is the first instance in Uzbekistan that a bank offered fully digital financial products and services, making this endeavour truly unique for the local market. Through its highly digitalized and asset-light strategy, TBC UZ now delivers to customers in Uzbekistan via its mobile banking application based on the Space platform. Next-generation physical locations called “showrooms” throughout a dozen of regional cities are utilized primarily for client relationship purposes.

TBC UZ has matured fast, reaching a record of 1 million downloads and 700  employees within one year. At present, TBC UZ operates via 7 ‘showrooms’ (3 more are shortly coming) and 34 ‘client acquisition points’ across 12 regional cities. The main products offered to customers are deposits, retail loans, payments, cards, and P2P transfers. The extension to the small business enterprise segment is envisaged in the near future.

TBC UZ is comprehensively user-centric, concentrates on facilitating a quality customer experience, and delivers prompt and comfortable digital financial services, thus making customers’ lives hassle-free. One of the most significant aspects of TBC UZ’s success story is that it encompasses a very capable, young and dynamic team, which has turned this startup into the best digital bank in Uzbekistan. The team is split between two cities, Tbilisi and Tashkent, and delivers cross-border business operations.

TBC Bank Group’s Strategy for International Expansion

Over the past 30 years of development and transformative growth in Georgia, TBC has expanded into new markets as the company is fully equipped to export knowledge and expertise internationally. The decision to extend its presence first into Uzbekistan was made based on several factors, primarily to reach a broader audience.

The population size in Uzbekistan is approximately 35 million, which is 10 times larger than the Georgian population. Other essential factors to consider included geographic and time zone proximity. These are important factors like the back offices – the ‘product, technology, and digital sales muscle’ of Space, that are physically located in Georgia. Furthermore, the timing was right for this endeavour. Alongside challenges, the global pandemic in 2020 offered opportunities to digital companies. In a time when physical interactions were no longer available, digital solutions ended up serving as a suitable alternative.

There was a groundbreaking development around TBC UZ in September 2021, when two principal international institutions – EBRD and IFC signed a memorandum with TBC.

Bank Group PLC to acquire stakes of 20% each in TBC UZ. It is essential to highlight, that this is the EBRD’s first equity investment in Uzbekistan’s banking sector since its re-engagement within the country in 2017, illustrating the longstanding collaboration TBC has with international financial institutions. This agreement accentuates the trust and confidence that important international investors have in TBC UZ and its growth potential. The investment is focused on underpinning digital finance in Uzbekistan and directly boosting financial inclusion in the nation. The aim is to support the constant operational growth of the newly established private market players and enhance international corporate governance standards in the industry.

In less than 30 years since 1992, TBC has emerged as one of the biggest companies and one of the pioneering technology-driven financial institutions in Georgia and has cemented itself as a successful technology company that operates internationally.
