Can my company’s Uzbek bank account be frozen?

Short answer

Only on your instruction, an investigator’s decision or a court — and only to the sum named.

YouOperations run on the account holder’s instruction (Bank Accounts Instruction, Para. 35 — lex.uz ↗)
OrOr where funds are attached — by decision of an official conducting a pre-investigation check, an inquiry officer or an investigator, or by court ruling (Bank Accounts Instruction, Para. 35 — lex.uz ↗)

What the law provides

Two protections sit in one paragraph and both are worth knowing. An attachment is capped at the sum in the decision, so a claim over part of your balance does not freeze the rest of it. And for a business entity, suspending operations is a judicial act rather than an administrative one, save where a statute says otherwise. (Bank Accounts Instruction, Para. 35 — lex.uz ↗)

A request to suspend debiting across every account you hold can be formed only by the bank that opened your main deposit account, and only in the cases legislation provides for. (Bank Accounts Instruction, Para. 36 — lex.uz ↗)
