Core offering

Kaspi Bank operates a mobile super-app that combines retail and commercial banking with payments, a Buy Now Pay Later service, an e-commerce marketplace, travel booking, and government services for consumers, merchants, and individual entrepreneurs in Kazakhstan. The platform centers on the Kaspi Gold card and Kaspi Red installment product, extends through deposits and consumer/business loans, and is monetized via interest income, payment processing fees, and marketplace commissions.

Product overview

Kaspi Bank operates as a unified super-app financial ecosystem combining banking, e-commerce, payments, and lifestyle services. The core platform includes Kaspi Gold (primary banking card) and Kaspi Red (BNPL/installment service) which form the foundation for the ecosystem. These connect to Kaspi Депозит (deposits) and various credit products including Кредит на Покупки (retail credit), Кредит Наличными (cash loans), Кредит для ИП (business credit), and Автокредит (auto loans). The Kaspi Магазин marketplace leverages these financial products for purchases, while Kaspi Pay provides merchant payment acceptance solutions. Supporting services include Платежи (10,000+ bill payments), Переводы (money transfers), Kaspi Travel (flight/rail bookings), and Госуслуги (government services). The Мой Банк platform serves as the digital banking hub, while Kaspi Гид provides product guidance. The ecosystem serves both consumers (retail banking, BNPL, deposits, marketplace) and businesses (merchant services, business credit, payment acceptance).
