Kazakhstan Card Payments

Cards + Kaspi: Mastercard leads schemes; Kaspi dominates domestic e-commerce rails

Card payments are a primary payment method in Kazakhstan, dominated by Mastercard at around 55% share and Visa at around 45%. American Express has limited acceptance across the market. As a core option in 2026, cards remain essential for cross-border transactions and for merchants operating outside the Kaspi ecosystem. For publishers, card payments provide reliable global reach and help capture transactions beyond local super-app environments.
