Bank CenterCredit informs about important changes in the RoK legislation aimed at protecting against financial fraud.
What will change from September 2025
As part of the fight against financial crimes in Kazakhstan, criminal liability is being introduced for illegally transferring access to bank accounts, cards and mobile applications of the bank to third parties. Exceptions are: transactions between spouses and close relatives. Amount of punishment: from a large fine to 5 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property. Facilitators of fraudulent schemes face restriction or imprisonment for a term of 3 to 7 years.
How fraudulent schemes work
Criminals actively recruit citizens through social networks and instant messengers, offering «easy money» for using bank details. Victims of such offers, called «droppers», often do not realize that they are becoming accomplices to crimes. As the National Bank warns, such schemes cause serious damage to the country's financial system and undermine citizens' trust in banking services.
Typical offers from fraudsters:
- «I'll rent out a card for 50,000 tenge»
- «People needed for cashing out»
- «Earnings from banking operations»
Financial security tips from Bank CenterCredit
Never give to third parties:
- Bank cards and their details
- PIN codes and passwords for mobile banking
- Access to banking applications
- СМС codes for confirming transactions
Signs of fraud:
- Offers of «easy money» through banking operations
- Requests to «help with transfers» for a fee
- Offers to use your account for someone else„s «business»
If suspicious transactions are detected:
1. Immediately block the card via the bank„s Call Center/mobile application
2. Contact law enforcement agencies
3. Notify the bank about fraudulent transactions
4. Save all documentation and correspondence
Remember: bank representatives never request:
- Codes from СМС messages
- Money transfers to «safe accounts»
- Transfer of bank data to third parties
Bank CenterCredit cares about the financial security of its clients and calls for vigilance when working with banking products.
Dear customers,
On September 15 from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM, due to the transition to a new platform, there may be short-term slowdowns or delays in the operation of certain services on the bcc.kz website. We are doing our best to ensure that the process is as quick and seamless as possible for you.
Thank you for your understanding!
Rating – Baa3, Outlook – Stable
Moody's rating agency has upgraded Bank CenterCredit’s ratings and assessments today: long-term domestic and foreign currency deposit ratings from Ba1 to Baa3.
The outlook on the Bank’s long-term deposit ratings has been revised from positive to stable, while the BCC’s long-term national scale bank deposit rating has been upgraded from A3.kz to A1.kz.
“This is a landmark milestone both for our Bank and for the country from the perspective of enhanced investment attractiveness and reputation of our region. The assignment of an investment grade rating is a positive signal for our existing and future partners”, commented Ruslan Vladimirov, President of JSC Bank CenterCredit.
Rating Rationale
Today’s upgrade reflects improvements in the Bank’s asset quality, profitability, and solvency supported by a favorable operating environment.
It also takes into account the Bank’s significant liquidity buffer, which remained stable and exceeded 40% of the Bank’s tangible assets at the end of the first half of 2025.
Stable Outlook Rationale
The stable outlook on the long-term deposit ratings reflects the expectation that the Bank will effectively manage credit risks associated with its previous rapid growth, and maintain key credit metrics, including profitability, asset quality, capitalization, and liquidity, at the stable level.

The Bank’s operating performance remains stable. Net profit surged 70% in the first half of 2025 year-on-year. Return on equity (ROE) has consistently exceeded 35% on average in recent years (43% in 1H 2025).
On 25 August, BCC secured an updated ESG score from S&P Global, having improved its results compared to the previous year by 23% — from 61 to 75 scores. This proves significant progress in sustainable development initiatives.
In July, the Bank presented its second non-financial report prepared in accordance with the ARDFM requirements and the GRI, SASB, IFRS S1 and S2 international standards. The document expanded the scope of disclosed information, allowing for a comprehensive disclosure of ESG approaches implemented.
BCC is the third largest commercial bank in Kazakhstan with the market share of about 11% in total assets and 12% in retail deposits as of 1 July 2025. In early August this year, the Bank prematurely and fully repaid the government support received.
