21.05.2026 09:08:09 32
From February 1, 2024, to May 1, 2026, 297,895 applications totaling over $53.09 million were processed. Funds were transferred to authorized operators for subsequent crediting to applicants' bank accounts.
Of the total number of completed applications, 187,597 applications, totaling approximately $33.39 million, were for housing improvements, and 110,298 applications, totaling $19.70 million, were for education expenses.
As a reminder, recipients of targeted savings (TS) may use the entire amount or a portion of it. Unused funds remain in the targeted savings account (TSA).
The most popular method for improving housing conditions was replenishing housing construction savings for further accumulation (183,436 applications completed, totaling approximately $32.72 million). Funds were also used as down payments for mortgage loans to purchase housing (1,425 applications, totaling $232,770), and for the purpose of acquiring housing through civil law transactions (final settlement), totaling 989 applications, totaling $156,590.
The largest amount of funds under the TS for education was allocated to pay for educational services at educational institutions located in the Republic of Kazakhstan, either in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full (for the entire term of study) (101,899 applications, totaling $18.51 million, were completed). The following services were also in high demand: replenishing an educational savings deposit under an educational savings deposit agreement (5,796 applications completed, totaling approximately $801,290), and paying for educational services at foreign educational institutions in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full (for the entire term of study) (2,075 applications completed, totaling $308,590).
Detailed information on TS payments for improving housing conditions and/or paying for education, broken down by authorized operators and regions, is available on the enpf.kz website.
As a reminder, Kazakhstani children received a further payment of $130.71 per child based on the results of 2025, $129.38 per child in 2024, and $100.52 per child in 2023.
Children under 18 receive annual payments from the National Fund as targeted benefits. According to the law, the amounts accrued to young Kazakhstani children remain part of the National Fund's assets and continue to be invested. Through continued investment, each child's targeted benefit amount increases annually through the investment income received.
As a result, the total amount of all accumulated target requirements (including the annually accrued investment income) for a child participating in the program:
- three years, amounted to $370.56;
- two years, amounted to $263.93;
- one year, amounted to $130.71.
Parents and other legal representatives can check the participation of a child under 18 in the program using the child's IIN on the website kids.enpf.kz, in their personal account on the eGov.kz e-government portal, as well as in the eGov Mobile mobile apps and those of some second-tier banks.
If information about target benefits accrued to children for the 2025 reporting year is not displayed, you must update your documents in your mobile apps by following this path:
- in the eGov Mobile app: "Digital Documents" - "Family" - "Update Document List" - "Accruals from the National Fund";
- in second-tier bank mobile apps, such as Kaspi.kz: "Gosuslugi" - "All Documents" - "Update Document List" - "Accruals from the National Fund."
The absence of information on the accrual of target benefits for children who have reached or will reach 18 years of age this year in the legal representative's personal account is due to the fact that target benefits have acquired the status of TS, and therefore access to information about them is provided directly to the TS recipient (a citizen who has reached or will reach 18 years of age in 2026). These individuals must independently obtain information about their TS through their personal account on the UAPF or e-government websites. Upon reaching 18 years of age, they can contact an authorized operator to open a US dollar bank account and submit an online application for TS payment to improve their housing conditions and/or pay for education.
Currently, the authorized operators are:
- Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),
- Halyk Bank JSC (for education),
- Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education).
Statistics on minor children eligible for targeted loans and adult recipients of the TS, as well as on the use of the TS for housing and/or education, can be found on the enpf.kz website.
