Kazakhstan’s biometric authentication system has been widely adopted, with nearly all second-tier banks and 75 financial organizations now connected. The system has enabled secure and convenient access to a growing number of public and private services. Digital identity is now a crucial component of Kazakhstan’s digital transformation. The country’s progress in this area is being closely watched as a model for other nations.
Kazakhstan’s digital transformation has been driven by a combination of factors, including an open and competitive payment market, secure digital ID, and public-private partnerships. The government has also invested in consumer protection and cybersecurity safeguards, which have helped to decrease online fraud. The country’s progress aligns with the G20’s policy recommendations for digital public infrastructure.
