Humo Bank in Tajikistan will stop servicing cards of Russians

Russian clients of Humo Bank were obliged to undergo biometric identification in order to preserve the ability to use the card. To do this, you must arrive at one of the bank’s offices in Tajikistan before September 30. Otherwise, the card will be blocked from October 1.

The fact that Russians with Humo Bank cards need to personally appear at the branch of this credit organization, the bank told Lenta.ru. “If you cannot come to Tajikistan in person and pass identification, unfortunately, your card will be closed,” Humo Bank said. Customers need to withdraw the balance of funds to the ruble card before the specified period.

According to Telegram-channel “Caution, news”, notifications about the need to pass identification Humo Bank customers received last week. In a letter to customers, the bank referred to protection "from fraudulent transactions." One of the clients told the bank that they had decided to limit service to “separate categories of non-resident individuals” whose cards were opened online. According to the woman, she still failed to withdraw funds, and the bank’s support service does not respond to her complaints.

After Kazakhstan tightened rules for issuing payment cards to non-residents in 2025, Russians began remotely issuing cards in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. In particular, the International Bank of Tajikistan and the microfinance company Humo offered foreign clients cards in US dollars and euros for a period of five years.
