The fintech market in Kazakhstan is experiencing significant growth, driven by increased adoption of digital financial services and a rise in mobile banking usage. However, the market is becoming increasingly competitive, with a strong focus on enhancing the quality of the client experience to gain a competitive edge.
An important aspect to consider is that the foundation of these insights is based on public information from the National Bank, rather than our own project data. This context plays a vital role in the development of mobile banks. With an understanding of these external factors, we are well-positioned to assist in cultivating a leading service.
Kazakhstan has seen a significant rise in the issuance of bank cards over recent years. This increase highlights the growing adoption of digital financial services. The number of bank cards in circulation has steadily climbed, indicating a robust demand for digital payment solutions.

Alongside the growth in card issuance, there has been a notable uptick in card usage. The number of payment transactions per card and the volume of transactions have both seen substantial increases. This trend suggests that consumers are increasingly relying on digital banking solutions for their daily financial activities.

The user base for digital banking services in Kazakhstan has expanded, though the growth rate has shown signs of plateauing. This trend highlights a maturing market where digital banking adoption is becoming more widespread, but the pace of new user acquisition is stabilizing.

Although there is growth in the digital banking user base, the rate has shown signs of plateauing.
The key insight reveals that banks in Kazakhstan are currently facing challenges in differentiating their digital services, as most mobile banking applications offer similar functionalities and experiences. The bank that acknowledges this gap and takes proactive steps to enhance the quality of its digital services will not only secure customer loyalty but also achieve significant financial gains. By focusing on superior user experience and innovative solutions, a bank can distinguish itself in a competitive market and become a leader in the fintech sector.
Based on the research data and the diverse experiences we have studied from various countries, it is clear that the key driver of growth lies in the quality of the client experience.
