Social media platforms are teething with news about a fee increase for cash withdrawals from the automated teller machines (ATM) of Uzsanoatkurilishbank.
The press service of Uzsanoatkurilishbank denied the fake message and confirmed that cash withdrawals remain at 1 per cent for local cards (UzCard, Humo), and 1.5 for international bank cards (including Kobeijing Bank cards).
The tariffs are approved by the board of “Uzstanoatkurilishbank” (SQB.uz)dated August 26, 2023, and no decision has been made to change the rates. (The current rates can be found here).
Moreover, the cash withdrawals from international cards issued by SQB offer a better deal where ATMs connected to the bank’s processing centre charge only up to 0.4 percent as part of the salary project.
Factchecker.uz calls on to be more alert and visit the official website of the banks only.
