Brokers in Kazakhstan, 2026
Tracked byIndependent review teamUpdated
Kazakhstan's retail forex market sits between domestic regulation and offshore access — most active traders use offshore brokers (FxPro SCB, RoboForex Belize, Tickmill SC, AvaTrade) funded via Kaspi or USDT. Domestic activity is overseen by the National Bank (NBK) and the Agency for Regulation and Development of Financial Market (ARDFM); the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) hosts AFSA-licensed international entities including some forex providers, with English-language regulation.

Personal income tax (IPN) for residents is a flat 10% on most income types, including capital gains from securities and forex trading. Foreign brokers do not act as tax agents — traders self-declare via annual return. Dividends from securities are taxed at 5%.
Unlike neighbouring Russia, Kazakhstan retail clients still have broad access to international brokers as of 2026 — Visa/Mastercard rails, SWIFT and Kaspi (the dominant local payment app) all function. The National Bank publishes a list of unlicensed forex companies but enforcement focuses on advertising rather than blocking access. AFSA-licensed entities under the AIFC offer a domestically-supervised alternative for residents who prefer local oversight.
