Citi was among the first global banks to establish a presence in Kazakhstan. The representative office opened in Almaty in April 1994, followed by the receipt of a full commercial banking license in 1998, when Citibank Kazakhstan JSC (Citi) expanded its services to corporate clients.

Today, Citi is recognized as one of the leading international banks in Kazakhstan, serving as a key partner for international companies and investors, the Government of Kazakhstan, and many of the country’s largest enterprises.

With its head office in Almaty and a branch in Astana, Citi has operated in Kazakhstan for more than 30 years, offering a broad range of products and services to its clients.

In 2025, the financial publication Euromoney recognized Citi as the Best International Bank in Kazakhstan for the second consecutive year.
