Moreover, banks in the country are recognizing that the best way to serve customers (and attract and retain them) is to offer new services and technologies to make life easier. As such, 26 of the 32 banks operating in Kazakhstan offer debit cards to customers, most of which also have a cash-back function. 16 of those banks also offer contactless payment cards. Some banks are even starting to increase their physical outreach, with 6 banks now delivering cards to clients instead of making clients come and pick them up at a bank branch.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-9584 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Central Asia SME Banking Club Conference 2018'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/central-asia-sme-banking-club-conference-2018\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/12121212121-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-10271\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-10271'>\n\t\t\t\tCentral Asia SME Banking Club Conference 2018\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='BFC FinTech Monitor 28th July \u2013 3rd August'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/bfc-fintech-monitor-28th-july-3rd-august\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/e17be0df-4211-4827-a19e-8a92207ba8da1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-15189\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-15189'>\n\t\t\t\tBFC FinTech Monitor 28th July \u2013 3rd August\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Kyrgyz universities to offer programs on blockchain and cryptocurrencies'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/kyrgyz-universities-to-offer-programs-on-blockchain-and-cryptocurrencies\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/kyrgyz-universities-to-offer-programs-on-blockchain-and-cryptocurrencies-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12459\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12459'>\n\t\t\t\tKyrgyz universities to offer programs on blockchain and cryptocurrencies\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number of payment cards in circulation in Kazakhstan is on the rise: the number of debit cards has increased 24.3%; the number of credit cards has increased 21.1%; and the number of prepaid and debit cards with limits has increased 18.5%.
