Translated with AI from the Russian original.

An updated version of the Baraka app, combining social benefits, public services, and everyday financial transactions, was presented in Uzbekistan. The presentation took place at the World Summit dedicated to children’s well-being and sustainable development. The release of the app with a redesigned interface is scheduled for November 3, 2026. The home screen will be split into two separate tabs—"Finance" and "Social Services"—making it easier for users to find the features they need.

The financial section will allow users to check balances and transaction history, manage cards, pay for purchases, make QR payments, and execute transfers. The second tab will gather information on allowances and benefits, as well as tools for submitting applications and tracking their status. The developers have also provided accessibility settings: the Low vision mode will allow users to increase font size, adjust contrast, and choose a light or dark theme. Before applying the changes, users will be able to preview how the selected design looks on the home screen.

More than 1.8 million people already use the Baraka card, with over 500,000 receiving monthly social benefits on it. Applications for more than 80 types of social services and payments, as well as 19 electronic documents, are available through the app. The card itself replaces 5 IDs, including retirement, student, and disability certificates. The update is aimed at making the management of these features more convenient and accessible.
