Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The single nationwide processing center Uzcard has launched a cash holding service.

The new service of Uzcard will allow the holder of a bankcard to "freeze" funds before receiving a product or service.

The service protects the users from purchasing of goods with defect and return back the money if there are any problems.

The funds are not withdrawn from the card, they remain in the account until the moment the user acquires or refuses the order. Having refused the goods, the cardholder does not lose the money, but only removes it from the holding and it stays on the balance of the card.
