7, 000 Kazakhstanis have already estimated the convenience of payment with their mobile phones, using the NFC-technology of wireless data transmission. In case of payments, a smartphone supporting NFC is brought to a terminal with a special chip, and then the terminal recognizes the device and carries out the withdrawal of funds. To do this, the smartphone must be attached to a Bank card, be on Android and support NFC.

You can connect NFC in Eurasian Bank right now. For this, you only need to order a “gold” Mastercard Gold PayPass at the pay.smartbank.kz website. Card issue and maintenance are free of charge for the entire validity period. Now, the action is on: if you order a “gold” card before September 1, it will be delivered to you free of charge to the cities of Kazakhstan, such as Almaty, Astana, Atyrau, Aktau, Aktobe, Karaganda, Kokshetau, Kyzylorda, Kostanay, Pavlodar, Petropavlovsk, Uralsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Shymkent, Taldykorgan.
