In 2013 both banks and JSC «Kazpost» performed 347 403.6 thousand transactions to the sum of 125 515.6 billion KZT with the application of payment instruments presented in Table.

As before, payment orders and payment cards are payment instruments used most commonly on the territory of Kazakhstan. Herewith the average value of one payment orders in 2013 came to 906.9 thousand KZT. At the same time, a high specific weight of payment cards on the volume of payments and a low specific weight on value of payments are due to the use of this payment instrument primarily for withdrawal of small sums of cash (the average amount of one cash withdrawal transaction for 2013 came to 34.9 thousand KZT).

In 2013 payment request-orders and collection orders are used the least frequently. The insignificant part of use of given instruments in total volume and value is caused by their specificity.

Other payment instruments include checks for goods and services, direct debits of bank account.
