Bank RBK has expanded its use of the digital tenge: beyond transaction operations, the bank has begun lending to real-sector enterprises using the instrument. The first deals were completed under the Orleu program of the Damu Fund, opening a new chapter in the digitalization of business financing, infohub.kz reports.

The digital tenge is not only a new format for settlements but also an additional tool for improving the transparency of state business support programs. It enables mechanisms for tracking the movement of funds, while allowing banks to expand lending capacity and refine financial processes.

Bank RBK has already issued several loans using the digital tenge, becoming one of the country's first banks to integrate the innovation into its lending activity. In one case, an entrepreneur used the financing to acquire a production facility in Karaganda to expand output of equipment for livestock farms.

"Our task is not simply to adopt new technologies but to turn them into working tools for the economy. The digital tenge opens additional opportunities for financing entrepreneurs and improving state support mechanisms. For Bank RBK, this is an important step in diversifying financial instruments and developing digital banking solutions. We see great potential in technologies that make financial processes more efficient and help businesses move forward," said Aidos Mukhamedzhanov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Bank RBK.

Four months passed from the project's start to the launch of digital tenge lending. In May 2026, the bank began connecting its systems to the Digital Tenge Platform of the National Payment Corporation. During that time, functions for buying, selling, tagging and transferring digital tenge were implemented.

The new service is already available to clients: they can open a digital tenge account through the Internet Client system by signing an application with an electronic digital signature, as well as obtain a loan under a state program.

For Bank RBK, the project combines two development tracks at once: the adoption of modern technologies and the expansion of financing instruments. The practical use of the digital tenge creates new opportunities for interaction among banks, the state and entrepreneurs, helping direct financial resources toward the development of Kazakhstan's real economy.
