Business accounts: Kazakhstan

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

We assess your chances against your profile, prepare the compliance file, help you present your source of funds properly and handle communication with the bank until it decides. The final decision always rests with the bank, so no one can guarantee an opening - careful preparation simply improves the odds.

We quote the exact cost for this country after a short consultation: it depends on the bank and your residency. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

FAQ

Can a non-resident open a company bank account in Kazakhstan?

Yes, normally through a TOO or a branch, with registration, a BIN and an appointed director. Directors and signatories need an IIN and often proof of lawful stay.

What is an AIFC account and how is it different?

The Astana International Financial Centre is a separate legal regime based on English law with its own regulator. AIFC companies still bank with local institutions, and compliance there is no softer, sometimes stricter.

Why do Kazakh banks refuse companies with Russian links?

Because of secondary sanctions risk, banks screen owners, counterparties and payment routes. Companies with Russian participation are often declined or restricted on foreign currency transfers - that is a bank decision, not a formal ban.

Does the director have to come in person?

Yes, identifying the signatory at a branch is standard. Some steps can be done remotely, but signing and biometrics are normally face to face.
