In the same year, the authorized capital of the Bank was increased by almost 15 times and amounted to 29 billion tenge (more than 240 million dollars), which allowed SberBank to become one of the 10 largest banks in the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of authorized capital. SberBank has extensive ties with the largest banks in the world, as well as vast experience in working with clients and partners engaged in various areas of the economy.
To date, SberBank has a branch network consisting of 110 structural units, 17 of which are branches.
SberBank has completed a unique project - a corporate information system that has become much more reliable and can ensure the continuity of the bank's business in the event of an emergency or threat of an emergency.
