He is about to send money from his online bank account to his family in the capital city of Dushanbe. Even in the remoter regions in this low-income country, it is possible to conduct cashless financial transactions. Driven in part by the fears surrounding COVID-19, almost two million users registered to benefit from the newly created cashless zone over the past six months.
