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='Kazakhstan may introduce a national cryptocurrency before Russia'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/kazakhstan-may-introduce-a-national-cryptocurrency-before-russia\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cryptocurrencies-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-7376\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-7376'>\n\t\t\t\tKazakhstan may introduce a national cryptocurrency before Russia\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='State use of biometric data: good or bad?'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/state-use-of-biometric-data-good-or-bad\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/state-use-of-biometric-data-good-or-bad-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-11159\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-11159'>\n\t\t\t\tState use of biometric data: good or bad?\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='Kyrgyzstan in top 5 for cryptocurrency attacks'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/kyrgyzstan-in-top-5-for-cryptocurrency-attacks\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/kyrgyzstan-in-top-5-for-cryptocurrency-attacks-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-11305\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-11305'>\n\t\t\t\tKyrgyzstan in top 5 for cryptocurrency attacks\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%.
