ASTANA, Kazakhstan, July 12. The National Bank of Kazakhstan reports that in May 2025, over 1.43 billion payment transactions were carried out by commercial banks and JSC “Kazpost” in Kazakhstan, totaling 87.4 trillion tenge (roughly $166 billion) through diverse payment instruments, Trend reports via Kazakhstan’s National Bank.
According to the information, the predominant transactional
modalities continue to be credit and debit instruments alongside
remittance directives. The mean transaction value for a single
payment directive in May was recorded at 476,100 tenge, equating to
an approximate monetary equivalent of $904.59.
Concurrently, payment cards exhibit a substantial proportion in
transaction volume while demonstrating a diminished share in
aggregate monetary value, signifying that these instruments are
predominantly utilized for microtransactions and nominal
transfers.
The instruments exhibiting the lowest market demand were negotiable
instruments such as checks and formal payment requests. Their
proportion in the aggregate volume and transaction count remains
negligible, which correlates with the unique characteristics of
their application.
