How to send money to Uzbekistan from Europe – and receive soms and dollars

If you’re searching for how to send money to Uzbekistan or need an alternative to KoronaPay (Zolotaya Korona) after it’s stopped operating in Europe, take a closer look at Profee. With our service, you can send money to Visa, Mastercard, UZCARD or HUMO cards and convert euros and local currencies to UZS or USD. This guide explains the process step by step, and covers fees, exchange rate and available payout options.

Why Profee works well for transfers to Uzbekistan

Profee delivers money to Visa, Mastercard, UZCARD and HUMO cards, converts funds to UZS and USD, keeps the costs transparent, and lands transfer quickly – 95% of them arrive within minutes (as of 2026).

We combine several things that matter when you send money to Uzbekistan:

• Direct card payouts. Recipients, for example, parents, get money directly on cards without the need to create their own Profee profile.
• Flexible ways to pay. Depending on the country, you can use a bank card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Profee wallet, SEPA or local payment methods (BLIK, Swish, Klarna, and so on).
• UZS and USD transfers. You can choose the receiving currency beforehand.
• Costs shown upfront. You’ll see the exact exchange rate, transfer fee and final amount before approving the transfer.
• Fast delivery. 95% of Profee transfers arrive within minutes (as of 2026; processing time may vary based on payment method and recipient card issuer).

All this makes Profee easy to use, even if it’s your first transfer with the service. If you’re switching from Zolotaya Korona (KoronaPay), the process will feel familiar too – you can follow a similar and simple flow without having to learn a completely new way of sending money.

How to send money to Uzbekistan from Europe step by step

Sending money to Uzbekistan via Profee takes five steps and under 10 minutes – you should enter basic personal details, recipient card number, and a payment method, for example, Mastercard, Google Pay, or SEPA.

Step 1: Create your Profee profile

To create a Profee profile, you need your full name, phone number, email, nationality, current residential address, and date of birth. Enter these details on the website or in the app, making sure the information matches your documents. Once your profile is ready, you can start an international money transfer to Uzbekistan.

Step 2: Choose how much the recipient should get

You can enter the exact EUR amount to send or the UZS/USD amount your recipient needs – Profee's calculator instantly shows the exchange rate, fee, how much you need to pay and how much the recipient gets.

On your first transfer, you’ll get an improved rate (the terms may change by the time you read this article, verify it on our website). For example, on August 13th, 2026:

• our regular EUR-UZS rate was 1 EUR = 13,559.17 UZS
• and the first-transfer rate was 1 EUR = 13,816.79 UZS

Currency markets move, so the rate often changes and may be different from our example. The good thing is that if you set up the transfer and the rate changes midway through, it won't affect your final payment or the amount the recipient receives – we freeze the rate so you know exactly how much the person gets.

Step 3: Pick your payment method

Most European senders can pay via Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Profee wallet, SEPA, or regional methods like Klarna and Swish – the exact options depend on your country.

The payment method can influence both the transfer fee and processing time, so check different options and find what works best for you. Profee wallet transfers are the fastest, and cards are also quicker than the bank account ones.

Tip: You can save your payment details in Profee, so you won’t need to enter them again every time you send money. It’s safe to do so – we protect your personal and payment data using industry-standard security measures.

Step 4: Choose how the recipient gets the money

For transfers to Uzbekistan, the recipient can receive money on Visa, Mastercard, UZCARD, and HUMO cards. The currently available payout method will be displayed when you set up the transfer.

For a card transfer, you generally need the recipient's full name and card details. Make sure the name is entered correctly and that you select the right card.

Recipients don’t have to register or go to a bank branch to get the money. We deliver the funds directly to their cards, so they can spend the money right away.

Tip: You can save your recipient’s details to make future transfers faster – their data is stored securely.

Step 5: Review the transfer before sending

Before confirming, we’ll display transfer details, such as sending amount, exchange rate, fee, recipient name, card details, card issuer, receiving currency, processing time, and payout method.

If something looks wrong, correct it before payment. Once confirmed, you can follow the status of the transfer in our app. We'll also send you a notification once the money has been delivered to the recipient.

What currencies can reach Uzbekistan

You can send money to Uzbekistan in either UZS or USD with Profee (as of 2026, currency availability subject to change) – both are useful, just for different things.

Soms are the natural choice for everyday life: groceries, bills, transport, family expenses and other local payments. Dollars can make more sense if your recipient wants to keep part of the money in USD or is saving or investing.

If you choose USD, your recipient needs a USD-denominated card or bank account that can receive dollars. Profee will show the available payout methods when you set up the transfer, so you can simply choose what works best for your family.
