Kazakhstan's largest bank has become the direct owner of the fintech company, integrating it into its business services ecosystem.
On June 3, 2026, Halyk Bank officially completed the acquisition of a 100% stake in Comrun LLP, the developer of the re:Kassa payment service. The bank is integrating the ready-made payment fiscalization solution into its infrastructure for small and medium-sized businesses.
What happened
The bank notified the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) about the closing of the deal, according to Kapital.kz. The change of ownership is also confirmed by state registry data.
The purchase amount was not disclosed. The bank received permission to conduct the transaction from the Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market (ARDFM) in April 2026.
The re:Kassa service specializes in remote business management. The platform allows individual entrepreneurs and small companies to fiscalize cashless payments, calculate taxes, and generate electronic receipts.
Country and market
The asset has a rich corporate history in the Kazakhstani market. Before coming under Halyk Bank's control, the ultimate founders of the company were the former Minister of Digital Development and current head of Kazakhtelecom, Bagdat Mussin, as well as entrepreneur Daniyar Assanov. They owned the service through the BeInTech structure.
In addition, the head of Freedom Holding Corp., Timur Turlov, acquired the company in 2023, but he exited the list of participants in 2025.
For Halyk Bank, the purchase of re:Kassa was a logical step in expanding its list of subsidiaries. The group currently includes insurance, brokerage, and leasing companies, a processing center, a telecom operator, as well as banks in Georgia and Uzbekistan.
Why it matters
The deal reflects a general trend toward the consolidation of payment infrastructure in Central Asia. Major players prefer to buy ready-made niche products with an established customer base rather than spend time developing similar solutions from scratch.
Traditional banks are actively absorbing independent fintech services to capture all the daily operational tasks of small businesses.
What's next
Halyk now has to integrate re:Kassa's functionality into its core business applications. The main question for the market is whether the service will retain its autonomy and accessibility for clients of other banks, or if it will become an exclusive product within the Halyk ecosystem.
