In  the  1  quarter  of  2010  both  second – tier  banks  and  JSC  «Kazpost» performed  40 764.4 thousand transactions to the sum of 27 021.3 billion KZT with the application of payment instruments presented in  Table 1. Compared with the similar period of the previous year the volume of transactions increased by 13.5% and  the value  of payments  increased by 37.2%.

The increase of total volume of  payment instruments was mainly specified the increase of volume of  payment cards operations by  4 431.4 thousand transactions. The increase of payment value was substantially caused by the growth of   payments value performed with  payment orders by 7 210.5 billion KZT.

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 the 1 quarter of 2010 came to 2.7 million KZT and compared with the same period of last year has increased by 25.2%. 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 the 1 quarter of 2010 came to 24.4 thousand KZT).

In the 1 quarter of 2010 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 and executed bill credits.
