For April 2018 banks and JSC «Kazpost» performed 83 369.8 thousand transactions to the sum of 27 282.8  billion KZT with the application of payment instruments presented in Table.

As before, payment orders and payment cards are payment instruments used most commonly on the territory of Kazakhstan. Herewith the average value of one payment order in April 2018 came to 1 385.1 thousand KZT.  

At the same time, a high specific weight of payment cards on the volume of transactions and a low specific weight on value of transactions are due to the use of this payment instrument primarily for withdrawal of small sums of cash.

During the specified period checks and collection orders are used the least frequently. The insignificant part of use of given instruments in total volume and value is caused by their specificity.
