Kazakhstan: National Bank warns about fake digital powers of attorney

On 15 October 2026, the National Bank of Kazakhstan warned about messages alleging that a digital power of attorney or a loan had been issued in the recipient’s name. After a callback, fraudsters request verification codes, banking details, an app installation or a transfer to a supposedly safe account.

The regulator recommends checking such claims through official contact centres. Digital finance providers can use the warning to review how clearly they explain secure customer communications and request verification.
