ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 31. In July 2025, the volume of transactions using payment cards issued by Kazakhstani issuers amounted to 18.7 trillion tenge (approximately $35.53 billion), with the number of transactions reaching 1.2 billion, Trend reports, citing Kazakhstan’s National Bank.
Simultaneously, in juxtaposition to the corresponding timeframe
in 2024, the aggregate of cashless transactions exhibited a growth
trajectory of 6.3 percent, culminating in 1.2 billion operations,
while the transactional volume escalated by 10.3 percent, achieving
a substantial 16.2 trillion tenge (approximately $30.78
billion).
The observed escalation in the magnitude and frequency of cashless
transactions in Kazakhstan signifies the progressive fortification
of the trajectory towards the digital transformation of financial
services, coupled with a consistent diminution in reliance on
cash-based payment mechanisms.
The 10.3 percent uptick in monetary valuation, juxtaposed with a
6.3 percent escalation in transaction volume, further elucidates a
surge in the mean check size for cashless transactions. This
phenomenon may correlate with an augmentation in the spectrum of
goods and services transacted via card payments, alongside
heightened consumer engagement metrics.
