Personal 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 foreigner open a bank account in Kazakhstan?

Yes, non-residents do open accounts, but the rules have tightened. You need an IIN and a passport, and several banks now ask why you need the account: work, study, property or business in the country.

How do I get an IIN in Kazakhstan?

You apply through the justice authorities or a public service centre with your passport and, if required, a notarised translation. Without an IIN you cannot get an account or a card.

Do Kazakh banks give non-residents cards that work abroad?

Yes, but policies have shifted: some banks restrict cards for non-residents or close dormant accounts. Check the current terms before you rely on one.

Does Kazakhstan report under CRS?

Yes, Kazakhstan takes part in the automatic exchange of financial account information, and data on non-resident accounts goes to their countries of tax residence.
