Payment cards. Feel like home at any place of the world!
BTA Bank is one of the leading banks on issuing and maintenance of payment cards in the Republic of Kazakhstan In 1994 the bank became the first Principal member of Visa International payment system. Since 1998 the Bank is also a member of MasterCard International payment system. BTA Bank was the first to launch processing center in Kazakhstan, install the first ATM in the country and issue the first AlemCard.
In 2007 the Bank successfully transited to new and more reliable card system that enables issuing of cards with microchips. Microchip protects customer’s bank account from intrusion via forged card. In addition to good security, after its transition to microchip cards the bank got a chance to significantly extend the range of services provided by cards.
