TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, October 14. The international Plus Forum has opened in Dushanbe, during which Uzbekistan’s HUMO and Tajikistan’s Korti Milli payment systems signed a strategic partnership agreement, Trend reports.
The memorandum formalizes the parties’ intention to integrate their payment infrastructures, enabling HUMO cardholders to use Korti Milli services in Tajikistan, and vice versa — Korti Milli cardholders to access HUMO services in Uzbekistan.
The document aims to foster long-term strategic cooperation between the two largest payment systems in the region and to expand service opportunities for clients in both countries.
