“Baraka” Project Presented at the “Inson Uchun – 2026” Festival

One of the year’s most significant events in the social sphere, the “Inson Uchun – 2026” (For the Human – 2026) festival, took place at the “Uzexpocentre” National Exhibition Complex in Tashkent. Held on May 12-13, this prestigious event brought together the most advanced solutions for building an inclusive society, modern education, and ensuring public employment.

One of the projects at the center of attention during the festival was the “Baraka” social card project under the National Agency for Social Protection. The project office team participated with their own stand, showcasing the digital transformation of the fundamental reforms in the country’s social system.

Project Manager Avaz Yusupov highlighted the essence and strategic importance of the “Baraka” project in his speech: “Our main goal is to create a transparent and convenient service system for citizens by fully digitizing social services provided by the state to reduce bureaucracy. ‘Baraka’ will become a holistic ecosystem serving human dignity, not just a means of payment.”

The practical presentation by Asad Panjiyev, Head of Training and Operations, garnered significant interest among participants. The specialist detailed the technical capabilities of the “Baraka” mobile app.

During the “Q&A” session organized at the conclusion of the festival, experts provided detailed answers to questions from citizens. Discussions emphasized the full implementation of the “Baraka” project across regions and its future enrichment with new functional capabilities.

The festival served as an important foundation for bringing the “Baraka” project closer to the people and shaping a modern, humanitarian image of the social protection system.

Modern life is inseparable from money transfers. Whether you are sending tuition to your child, providing financial support to loved ones, or simply moving funds between cards—the Baraka app makes it happen in seconds.

But did you know you can save significant money by choosing the right transfer tariffs? Let’s explore the most cost-effective options available in the Baraka app.

0% Commission Between Baraka Cards

The Baraka social card is designed not just for receiving benefits, but also for making the most affordable—and even free—money transfers. Check out our commission rates below:

• 0% — Absolutely Free If you transfer money between two Baraka cards within the same bank, there is no service fee:
  • Aloqabank Baraka → Aloqabank Baraka = 0%
  • Xalq Banki Baraka → Xalq Banki Baraka = 0%
• 0.5% — Preferential Tariff When you send money from your Baraka card to any other bank card, the commission is nearly twice as low as the market average:
  • Baraka Card → Humo or Uzcard = 0.5%
  • Baraka (Aloqabank) → Baraka (Xalq Banki) = 0.5%

The Baraka Advantage

Typically, card-to-card transfer fees in other apps reach up to 1%. With the Baraka card:

1. You eliminate fees entirely by transferring within the same bank.
2. You save at least 0.5% on every transfer to other cards.

For example: If you transfer 1,000,000 UZS, a standard card might charge you 10,000 UZS in fees. With Baraka, that cost drops to just 5,000 UZS or is completely free.

Withdrawing Cash from ATMs

Please keep in mind that cash withdrawal commissions are set independently by the bank that owns the ATM, not by Baraka.

To save on fees, try to use ATMs belonging to the same bank that issued your Baraka card (e.g., Aloqabank, Xalqbanki). ATMs always display the commission amount on the screen before dispensing cash—be sure to check the screen before confirming your transaction.

The Social ID is your unique digital identifier within the social services system.

Through it, your identity is verified in government information systems, and the social services, payments, and benefits assigned to you are managed.

Simply put, the Social ID is a personal digital profile created specifically for accessing and managing social services.

What is the function of the Social ID in the Baraka app?

All your social information in the app is managed through this ID.
It identifies the user precisely in the system.

The system automatically recognizes you through the Social ID.
No additional documents or information are required during this process.

Displays existing social benefits and allowances.
The Social ID shows which pensions, services, or other social assistance you are entitled to. This information is linked to a single profile.

Allows fast and convenient access to social services.
The Social ID connects all services into a single system. As a result, you can access services without unnecessary paperwork, waiting in lines, or repeatedly providing your information.

Simplifies monitoring and managing payments.
Through the app, you can view the social payments assigned to you, track their receipt dates, and monitor their status.

Where is the Social ID used?

The Social ID is used in various government and financial systems to identify citizens and manage the social services assigned to them.

In social protection agencies
The types of social assistance, benefits, and registration processes for a citizen are determined through the Social ID. This allows for quick access and verification of information.

For processing pensions and subsidies
When granting pensions, child benefits, financial aid, or subsidies, a citizen’s rights and status are checked based on the Social ID. This simplifies the process and reduces the likelihood of errors.

In banking processes (related to social cards)
For matters connected to cards receiving social payments, a person can be quickly identified using the Social ID. This enables faster banking services.

In digital government service systems
When submitting applications online, verifying information, or accessing social services through platforms, the Social ID serves as a single identifier.

What benefits does the Social ID provide to citizens?

The Social ID significantly simplifies and speeds up the process of accessing social services. The system automatically identifies the individual through the Social ID. In many cases, no additional documents or repeated information entry is required, saving time.

Since the data is stored in a single system, there is less need to submit the same documents multiple times to different organizations.

Citizens gain clear information about their assigned benefits, subsidies, or other social payments. It is easy to see which payments were made, when, and in what amount.

The Social ID links all social services to a single profile. As a result, service delivery is faster and queues are reduced.

Citizens’ social information is consolidated in a single system rather than scattered across multiple databases. This ensures accuracy and up-to-date information.

What is the QR code on the back of the Baraka card?

The QR code on the back of the Baraka social card is an identification code linked to the Social ID.

When the QR code is scanned:

• The user’s unique social profile is automatically identified in the system.
• Relevant service or payment information is quickly displayed.

Important: This QR code is not intended for payments. It is used for identification purposes only.

Where can the social QR code be used?

The social QR code on the Baraka card is used in the following places and situations:

At social service centers
The QR code is scanned, and the system identifies your profile, allowing staff to provide the services you are entitled to more quickly.

By authorized government officials
Only authorized personnel can use the QR code. Ordinary users cannot use this code for payments or other personal purposes.

In banking processes (related to the card)
For services connected to the social card, such as receiving benefits or subsidies, the QR code enables quick identification.

For checking social services
The QR code is used to monitor service quality or verify user information.

Important: The QR code is not an open payment QR. It is used only by authorized personnel for identification through a special system.
