How funds have been used under the "National Fund for Children" program as of May 1, 2026?
From February 1, 2024, to May 1, 2026, 297,895 applications totaling over $53.09 million have been processed. Funds were transferred to authorized operators for subsequent deposit into applicants' bank accounts.
Of the total number of processed applications, 187,597 applications totaling approximately $33.39 million were used to improve housing conditions, and 110,298 applications totaling $19.70 million were used to pay for education.
As a reminder, recipients of targeted savings (TS) have the right to use the entire amount or a portion of it. Unused balances of funds continue to be stored in the targeted savings account (TSA). The most popular method for improving housing conditions was replenishing housing construction savings for further accumulation (183,436 applications completed, totaling approximately $32.72 million). Funds were also contributed as down payments for mortgage loans to purchase housing (1,425 applications, totaling $232,770), and for the purpose of acquiring housing through civil law transactions (final settlement), totaling 989 applications, totaling $156,590.
The largest amount of funds within the framework of the use of the Housing Construction Savings Fund for education was allocated to pay for educational services at educational institutions located in the Republic of Kazakhstan, either in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full (for the entire term of study) (101,899 applications, totaling $18.51 million, were completed). The following areas were also in demand: replenishing an educational savings deposit under an educational savings deposit agreement (5,796 applications completed, totaling approximately $801,290), and paying for educational services at foreign educational institutions in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full (for the entire term of study) (2,075 applications completed, totaling $308,590).
Detailed information on social security payments for improving housing conditions and/or paying for education, broken down by authorized operators and regions, is available on the enpf.kz website.
As a reminder, Kazakhstani children received a further payment of $130.71 per child based on the results of 2025, $129.38 per child in 2024, and $100.52 per child in 2023.
Children under 18 receive annual payments from the National Fund as targeted benefits. According to the law, the amounts accrued to young Kazakhstani children remain part of the National Fund's assets and continue to be invested. Through continued investment, each child's target benefit amount increases annually due to the investment income received.
As a result, the total amount of all accumulated target benefits (including the annually accrued investment income) for a child participating in the program:
- three years old, amounted to $370.56;
- two years old, amounted to $263.93;
- one year old, amounted to $130.71.
Parents and other legal representatives can check the child's participation in the program for children under 18 using their individual identification number (IIN) on the kids.enpf.kz website, in their personal account on the eGov.kz e-government portal, and in the eGov Mobile and some second-tier bank mobile apps.
If information about target benefits accrued to children for the 2025 reporting year is not displayed, you must update the documents in the mobile apps by following this path:
• in the eGov Mobile app: "Digital Documents" - "Family" - "Update Document List" - "National Fund Payments";
• in the mobile apps of second-tier banks, such as Kaspi.kz: "Gosuslugi" - "All Documents" - "Update Document List" - "National Fund Payments".
The absence of information about the accrual of target benefits for children who have reached or will reach the age of 18 this year in the legal representative's personal account is due to the fact that target benefits have acquired the status of a CT, and therefore access to information about them is provided directly to the CT recipient (a citizen who has reached or will reach the age of 18 in 2026). These individuals must independently obtain information about their CT through their personal account on the ENPF or e-government websites. Upon reaching the age of 18, they can contact an authorized operator to open a US dollar bank account and submit an online application for CT payment to improve their housing conditions and/or pay for education.
Currently, the following are authorized operators:
• JSC Otbasy Bank (for housing and education),
• JSC Halyk Bank (for education),
• JSC Bank CenterCredit (for education).
