Today, a Kazakhstani's wallet is their smartphone. According to the National Bank of RK, cashless payments have become the preferred choice for millions of people. Customers choose convenience: they love paying in one click via QR or card, earning bonuses, and leaving with a great mood!

The government fully supports this fintech evolution. Government Decree No. 388 opens up new digital horizons for many entrepreneurs.

🎉 Welcome to the Digital Convenience Club!

Starting July 19, 2026, even more business types will be able to officially delight their customers with seamless payments. Check out the updated list:

• 🏋️ Sports and Recreation: fitness centers, dance studios, and entertainment venues.
• ✂️ Beauty Industry: beauty salons, cozy hairdressers, and barbershops.
• 📦 Delivery and Logistics: postal and courier services.
• 🌾 Agribusiness: the exemption has been lifted for those selling self-produced agricultural and aquaculture products. Now every single farmer can delight customers with QR payments!

🚀 What Does a POS Terminal Give Your Business? Only Perks!

1. More Sales and Higher Average Check! Customers spend more willingly and easily when paying by card or using installment/credit plans. No more missed sales due to "Oh, I don’t have any cash on me."
2. Saves Your Time. Forget about searching for change, counting cash at the end of the shift, and handling cash collection. Everything is recorded automatically and tracked beautifully in your app.
3. Perfect Order and Security. Automatic accounting eliminates human error. Your money is completely safe in your bank account 24/7.
4. Customer Love and Trust. A business that offers QR and card payments looks modern, reliable, and customer-oriented.
