Freedom Bank has received two awards from the Anti-Fraud Center of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This year, the credit institution was recognized as the best in the categories "Anti-Fraud Partner of the Year" and "Contribution to the Development of the Anti-Fraud Center" for its active role in building and improving mechanisms to combat financial fraud. A total of four nominations were announced this year, two of which went to Freedom, according to infohub.kz.
Thus, the bank now has three awards from the Anti-Fraud Center. As a reminder, a year earlier Freedom was named the best in the "Return of the Year" category.
The awards were presented at a ceremony during the Central Asia Fintech Summit 2026 by Binur Zhalenov, Deputy Chairman of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan; Zhanar Samayeva, Chairwoman of the Management Board of the National Payment Corporation of Kazakhstan; and Asanali Baigozhin, founder of Verigram.
"These awards are especially important to us because they show that our client protection system works not in isolated cases but systematically across various areas. Today, anti-fraud within our bank is a comprehensive system that includes behavioral analysis, ML models, artificial intelligence, graph analysis, and rapid response. We are particularly developing technologies for early detection of atypical client behavior, and graph analysis helps identify connections and uncover entire fraud chains," noted Aidos Zhumagulov, Member of the Board of Directors of Freedom Bank.
Zhanar Samayeva, Chairwoman of the Management Board of the National Payment Corporation, also highlighted the significance of the award:
"Freedom Bank has become our nominee for the second year in a row. Such consistency of high results across different indicators confirms the maturity of the bank's anti-fraud infrastructure, the speed of the team's response, the accuracy of processes, and the high level of implemented technologies. It is this comprehensive approach that ensures real security for clients' money."
The Anti-Fraud Center of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a system launched by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan to combat fraudulent transactions.
