ASTANA, Kazakhstan, July 10. The number of point-of-sale (POS) terminals in Kazakhstan increased by 20.4 percent year-over-year, reaching 1,365,693 units as of June 1, 2025, from 1,134,474 units the year before, Trend reports via Kazakhstan’s National Bank.
Based on the data metrics, the predominant volume—1,358,450
terminals—has been deployed directly within retail ecosystems,
reflecting a 20.5 percent uptick compared to the previous fiscal
year. The quantity of point-of-sale terminals within banking
institutions has experienced a marginal contraction, declining from
7,922 to 7,243 units.
The proliferation of POS terminals signifies the dynamic evolution
of cashless transaction frameworks in Kazakhstan, enhancing the
accessibility and operational efficiency of digital payment
ecosystems for both consumers and the commercial landscape. The
proliferation of terminals at retail touchpoints markedly amplifies
the potential for contactless and card transactions, thereby
facilitating accelerated cash flow and bolstering payment security
protocols.
Due to advancements in infrastructural frameworks and an escalating
appetite for contemporary payment modalities, a proliferation in
the deployment of point-of-sale terminals is anticipated in the
forthcoming years, particularly within the small- to medium-sized
enterprise sector, alongside the service and retail domains.
