Researh highlights

The digital path to product opening has become more informative

Banks have significantly improved the digital pathways for product openings, making them more informative and user-friendly. Over the past two years, resources have been invested to ensure that client journeys often begin in the digital environment.

For instance, when applying for debit cards, users are more frequently presented with maintenance costs and motivational program conditions. Complete tariff descriptions are now available in only two banks, and all banks display interest rates on deposits. In credit products, most banks disclose maximum loan amounts and terms, with half providing a payment calculator, aiding clients in assessing loan costs and improving application quality.

Banks are actively developing user support

With the increase in tasks, the need for support has grown, prompting Kazakhstani banks to invest heavily in this area. New features are more prominently displayed in interfaces, boosting conversion rates. Support sections are now ubiquitous, helping users find answers and reducing the load on support centers. Contact center numbers are widely accessible, fostering trust in banks, and in-app chat services are beginning to automate support, reducing costs.

Document requests have moved online

Nearly all banks now offer online access to account statements and transaction receipts. Users increasingly have tools for quick access to documents verifying their financial history and transaction records. This shift towards digital document requests has significantly enhanced the accessibility and convenience for clients.

Pre-login zone potential is not realized

The pre-login zone, which allows new users to explore bank products before biometric identification, remains underutilized. Key information such as card issuance costs and credit limits is often missing. To improve conversion rates, it is crucial to display all key service conditions and provide access to full tariff files before registration.

To ensure fairness, the study evaluated the versions of applications available for download to all users as of April 12, 2024.

Kaspi Bank “the most popular” vs. Bank CenterCredit “the leader in digital experience”

The most significant differences are observed in tasks related to simplifying recurring operations and checking statuses of open products and new orders. Kaspi Bank is starting to lag behind competitors in terms of user experience quality. It does not prioritize the banking capabilities of the application, instead achieving its business goals through the development of its service ecosystem and retaining users within it.
