## About

Kazakhstan's leading digital bank and super-app offering banking, payments, transfers, marketplace shopping, and bill payments.

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. A community report in April 2026 noted that, while the website and app work, Syrian nationals cannot open Kaspi accounts due to KYC and local banking requirements, forcing reliance on costly international cards. Because most businesses in Kazakhstan use Kaspi, the restriction significantly affects daily transactions for Syrians there. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-21 — Note. A community member reported that Syrian students and scholarship holders in Kazakhstan are unable to open Kaspi accounts due to KYC and local banking restrictions, forcing reliance on international credit cards with high withdrawal, transfer, and currency-conversion fees. The website and app remain operational, but account creation and onboarding are not available to Syrian nationals. Kaspi's unified digital payment system is used by most businesses in Kazakhstan, so the restriction significantly affects daily transactions for Syrian residents.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
