The Global Finance international financial independent magazine has determined Eurasian Bank as the winner in the Best Custodian Bank nomination in Kazakhstan based on the results of the annual rating of the World’s Best Banks Awards 2025. This is reported on the publication’s website.

The participants were evaluated according to several key criteria: quality of service, competitive prices, prompt solution of non-standard situations, technological platforms, post-settlement operations, business continuity and compliance with local regulations.

“Professional custody of securities requires exceptional accuracy and reliability, and the daily meticulous work of our team. I am especially happy that this was appreciated by independent international experts. We will continue to develop advanced services and technologies in order to remain a reliable partner for our clients,” said Lyazzat Satiyeva, CEO of Eurasian Bank.

This year, the editorial board of Global Finance conducted a study in seven regions and 83 countries. When collecting data, the experts also took into account customer feedback and assessed the banks’ activities as of 1 January to 31 December 2024. Special attention was paid to the opinion of users of sub-custodial services, which allowed the experts to obtain an objective picture of the efficiency of custodial operations.

“The custodian banking sector is becoming more strategically oriented and technologically advanced, with increasing regulatory requirements and an increasing role in global financial transactions, making modern custodians the indispensable advisors in a complex, interconnected global financial system. The Global Finance Best Sub-Custodian Bank Awards recognizes leading companies that set new quality standards in sub-custodial services,” said Joseph D. Giarraputo, Publisher and Editorial Director of Global Finance.
