QR payments in Tajikistan
Pay NBT QR codes in Tajikistan with USDT
Scan any NBT QR code and pay from your stablecoin wallet. A local payer settles the bill in Tajikistani somoni, and the merchant sees a normal NBT QR payment — no Tajik bank account, card or cash.

About NBT QR
In Tajikistan, QR codes are paid through Unified QR of the National Bank of Tajikistan (НБТ), operated by the National Bank of Tajikistan. The single QR code replaces the separate codes each bank used to print, so one code takes payments from any bank's wallet.
You will see NBT QR codes at shops, cafés and service points in Dushanbe and beyond. With QRiks every one of them can be paid with USDT, and the merchant receives Tajikistani somoni as usual.
Can I pay NBT QR codes without a Tajik bank account?
Yes. With QRiks you scan the NBT QR code and pay with USDT. A vetted payer in Tajikistan pays the merchant from their own Tajik account, so you don't need a local bank account, card or phone number.
What does the merchant in Tajikistan receive?
The merchant receives Tajikistani somoni (TJS) through NBT QR, exactly like a payment from a local customer. They don't need to know about QRiks or accept crypto.
What do I pay with?
USDT on Polygon from your QRiks wallet. The quote shows the exchange rate, our fee and the network cost before you confirm.
Who runs NBT QR?
Unified QR of the National Bank of Tajikistan (НБТ) is operated by the National Bank of Tajikistan.
What if the payment doesn't go through?
Your USDT stays in escrow until an independent validator in Tajikistan confirms that the merchant was paid. If the merchant wasn't paid, your USDT is returned.
Where can I pay with NBT QR in Tajikistan?
