To meet regulatory requirements, banks in Kazakhstan have large staffs, something difficult for small companies and antithetical to the idea of efficiency that is associated with FinTech innovations. Because there is a lack of clarity surrounding these small online lenders (the bulk of the Kazakh FinTech market at the moment), regulators need to act quickly to either liberalize regulations or create temporary stays allowing the businesses to move forward until the state can act to create conditions and clearly-defined rules going forward. If Kazakhstan fails to act soon, it could risk losing many businesses and the capital associated with them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-9257 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Accelerating digital transformation in the ASEAN region'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/accelerating-digital-transformation-in-the-asean-region\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/3dc4e0ae-304a-404b-a819-2d02095c56881-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-15160\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-15160'>\n\t\t\t\tAccelerating digital transformation in the ASEAN region\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='First fully-digital bank in Georgia'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/first-fully-digital-bank-in-georgia\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/first-fully-digital-bank-in-georgia-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12075\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12075'>\n\t\t\t\tFirst fully-digital bank in Georgia\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='BFC FinTech Monitor (15th \u2013 28th December)'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/bfc-fintech-monitor-15th-28th-december\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3a8a300b-3a18-fbd9-31cc-32e0ba352fc51-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-16542\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-16542'>\n\t\t\t\tBFC FinTech Monitor (15th \u2013 28th December)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Kazakhstan, the rigid regulations of financial companies now also apply to online lending companies, leaving many to wonder if FinTech companies can thrive (or even survive) under such conditions.
