ASTANA, Kazakhstan, October 1. The National Bank of Kazakhstan has launched a new interbank QR payment service through the National Payment Corporation, enabling customers to pay for goods and services via mobile banking apps, Trend reports.
The service allows clients to make and receive interbank QR payments to any participating bank, expanding the range of payment options available. Starting today, the service is available to customers of Bank CenterCredit, Home Credit Bank, and Freedom Bank.
