On September 7, 2026, amendments to the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan came into force, expanding the options for contributors to manage their pension savings[1]. According to these amendments, the amount of pension savings transferred to a private investment portfolio manager (IPM) for trust management can now be up to 100% of the funds available in the contributor's (beneficiary's) individual pension savings account, including compulsory pension contributions (CPC), compulsory occupational pension contributions (COPC), and voluntary pension contributions (VPC).At this, CPC and VPC contributors, as well as individuals for whom COPC and VPC contributions are transferred, can independently determine the amount of their savings transferred to trust management, select one or more IPMs, and one or more investment portfolios in accordance with their financial goals.Pursuant to with the law, IPMs can create up to three investment portfolios: conservative, moderate, and high-risk. These portfolios vary in risk level, expected return, and investment terms. The ability to choose different investment portfolios is enshrined in Article 37-1 of the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Requirements for their formation are determined by the authorized body for regulation, control, and supervision of the financial market and financial organizations.Full information on the procedure for transferring pension savings to investment portfolio trust managers and investment opportunities is available on the UAPF website and on the invest.enpf.kz platform.Thus, the pension system is gradually transforming from a model where contributors play a passive role to one that assumes conscious participation in managing their own long-term retirement savings. The consistent expansion of investment strategy options and the increased availability of information on pension asset management are creating conditions for more active participation by contributors in decisions related to the formation of their future retirement income.  UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC.

Between February 1, 2024, and September 1, 2026, a total of 365,553 citizens received targeted savings (TS) payouts under the National Fund for Children program, amounting to approximately US$76.11 million.From the beginning of 2026 through September 1, 170,156 citizens received TS payouts totaling US$44.84 million. Of this number, 119,279 Kazakhstanis received over US$31.00 million for housing improvements, while 50,877 received US$13.83 million for education expenses.The funds were transferred to authorized operators for subsequent crediting to the applicants' bank accounts. Recipients have the right to use either the full amount or a portion of it. Any unclaimed funds remain in the targeted savings account (TSA) for 10 years. After this period, the unused balance is transferred to the beneficiary's individual pension savings account, where it is recorded as voluntary pension contributions.The most popular option for improving housing conditions was topping up housing construction savings accounts for further accumulation: payments totaling US$30.51 million were made to 117,712 recipients. Additionally, US$183.65 thousand was paid to 788 young Kazakhstanis for down payments on mortgage loans to purchase homes, while US$102.17 thousand was paid to 437 Kazakhstanis for the outright purchase of housing via civil-law transactions (final settlement).Regarding the use of targeted savings for education, the largest share of funds was allocated to pay for educational services provided by institutions within the Republic of Kazakhstan—either in installments (per academic period or school year) or as a single lump-sum payment (covering the entire course of study); 47,584 citizens received a total of US$12.96 million under this category.The following services were also in demand: topping up educational savings accounts under the relevant agreements—funds totaling US$587.56 thousand were transferred to 2,309 recipients; additionally, US$220.44 thousand was disbursed to 861 citizens to cover educational services provided by foreign educational institutions, either in installments (per academic period or academic year) or as a lump-sum payment (for the entire duration of study). It should be noted that the accrual of targeted requirements ceases upon the death of a participant or the entry into legal force of a court decision declaring them deceased. To claim targeted entitlements /TS following the death of a participant or recipient, heirs may apply to the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF) in accordance with the procedure established by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.As of September 1, 2026, payments totaling 74.46 thousand US dollars have been made to heirs, with 226 citizens receiving the funds.Detailed information on TS payouts for housing improvement and/or education expenses, broken down by authorized operators and regions, is available on the enpf.kz website.It is worth noting that, based on the results for 2025, a payment of $130.71 per child was credited to Kazakhstani children; for 2024, the amount was $129.38; and for 2023, it was $100.52.Funds from the National Fund are credited annually to children under the age of 18 in the form of targeted allocations. Under the law, the amounts credited to young Kazakhstanis remain part of the National Fund’s assets and continue to be invested. Thanks to this ongoing investment, the value of each child's targeted requirements grows annually through the generated investment income.As a result, the total accumulated value of all targeted requirements (including the investment income added each year) for a child participating in the program:- - three years, amounted to 370 dollars 56 cents;- two years, amounted to 263 dollars 93 cents;- one year, amounted to 130 dollars 71 cents.Parents and other legal representatives can verify a child's participation in the program using the child's IIN (Individual Identification Number) via the kids.enpf.kz website, the personal account section of the eGov.kz e-government portal, as well as the eGov Mobile app and the mobile apps of certain second-tier banks.If information regarding the targeted allocations accrued to children for the 2025 reporting year is not displayed, it is necessary to update the documents within the mobile apps by following this path:in the eGov Mobile app: "Digital Documents" – "Family" – "Refresh document list" – "National Fund accruals";in mobile apps of second-tier banks, for example, Kaspi.kz: "Government Services" – "All documents" – "Refresh document list" – "National Fund accruals".The absence of information regarding the accrual of targeted requirements for children who have reached or will reach the age of 18 this year in the legal representative's personal account is due to the fact that these entitlements have acquired "TS" status; consequently, access to information about them is granted directly to the TS recipient (the individual who has reached or will reach the age of 18 in 2026). These individuals must independently access information about their TS via their personal accounts on the UAPF or e-government websites so that, upon turning 18, they can contact an authorized operator to open a US dollar bank account and submit an online application for the TS payout to improve housing conditions and/or pay for education. Currently, the authorized operators are:Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan JSC (for education),Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education). Statistics regarding minors participating in the targeted entitlements program, adult TS recipients, and the use of TS funds for housing and/or education are available on the enpf.kz website. You can review the program terms and obtain instructions and answers to your questions on the kids.enpf.kz website.

The UAPF reminds that individuals with pension savings in the UAPF, formed through compulsory pension contributions and/or compulsory occupational pension contributions, who have reached the generally established retirement age, as well as individuals with disabilities of the first and second groups, if the disability is permanent, are entitled to receive pension benefits from the UAPF according to the established schedule.As a reminder, the old-age pension is available to individuals who have reached the generally established retirement age: men upon reaching 63 years of age, and women upon reaching 61 years of age in 2026.Pension benefits from the UAPF are paid until the pension savings are depleted.To receive pension benefits from the UAPF upon reaching retirement age, beneficiaries must promptly contact the local Public Service Center (PSC) at their place of residence. Documents and applications can be submitted to the PSC 10 days before the beneficiary reaches retirement age. We strongly recommend adhering to this deadline, as it is especially important for receiving a state pension, which requires verification of work experience based on the documents submitted.The pension is assigned from the date of application. It is important to note that if an application for pension payments is submitted before reaching retirement age, the date of application is considered the date of reaching retirement age. If an application is submitted after reaching retirement age, the date of application is considered the date of registration of the application with the Government for Citizens State Corporation.In addition, please note that future pensioners (potential beneficiaries) whose phone numbers are registered in the egov mobile citizen database will receive an SMS notification from number 1414 two months before reaching retirement age, informing them of the opportunity to contact the nearest branch of the State Corporation in a timely manner to receive pension payment services, with a link to the list of documents on the egov.kz website. This means that government agencies are sending out the relevant notifications to ensure pension benefits are processed within the prescribed timeframe, as benefits are not assigned for the missed period.Meanwhile, for individuals who have reached retirement age and who have pension savings in the UAPF but have not applied for their benefit, the UAPF conducts an annual verification, jointly with the State Corporation, to determine whether these citizens have assigned old-age pension benefits and the state basic pension benefit from budgetary funds. Based on the results of this verification, the UAPF makes payments proactively, i.e., without an application.Furthermore, starting in March 2026, a similar, non-application pension benefit paymentt procedure has been introduced through voluntary pension contributions (VPC) for individuals who have reached retirement age and who have pension savings in the UAPF through VPC, but who have not previously applied to the UAPF for payment due to reaching the age of fifty or disability.The non-application pension benefit payment procedure through VPC (if any) provides for:automatic assignment of UAPF pension payments through the VPC when applying to the State Corporation in the prescribed manner with applications for a pension from the state budget and payments through compulsory pension contributions and/or compulsory occupational pension contributions in connection with reaching retirement age;making payments through the VPC as part of a proactive service.To receive a disability payment upon reaching age 50 through the VPC, please contact UAPF offices or through your personal account on the UAPF website (enpf.kz) or the UAPF mobile app using an electronic digital signature.Please note that UAPF offers on-site services for individuals with disabilities.
