How to send money from Europe to Kazakhstan. A step-by-step guide

If you need to send money to Kazakhstan from Europe – or are looking for a Zolotaya Korona (KoronaPay) alternative, since new transfers through it are unavailable – Profee offers a simple way to do it online. With Profee, you can send money to Kazakhstan, see the exchange rate and fees before confirming, and send directly to supported banks in Kazakhstan. Scroll down for more details and a step-by-step guide for smooth transfers.

Why use Profee to send money to Kazakhstan?

Profee is designed for people who live abroad and regularly need to support family, pay expenses or simply move money home. The whole process is digital, so there is no need to visit a bank branch or cash-transfer office.

Here are the main benefits.

Fast transfers

95% of Profee transfers arrive within a few minutes. Transfers from cards, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, and from the Profee wallet can be instant.

Keep in mind that the exact time depends on how you pay and how the recipient receives the money.

Honesty and transparency

Before you send anything, we show you the exchange rate, transfer fee, amount you pay and amount your recipient gets. There are no extra Profee charges added after you confirm the transfer.

Such transparency is especially useful when converting euros or other European currencies into Kazakhstani tenge: instead of calculating fees and rates yourself, you can immediately see how much KZT will reach the recipient.

Welcome offer and competitive exchange rates

New customers get a 0% fee and an improved exchange rate on their first transfer to Kazakhstan, as of August 2026.

After that, you’ll enjoy competitive rates. They are always up-to-date thanks to our monitoring system that tracks currency markets. You can check the current rate in the transfer calculator before starting your transfer and compare it with other options.

Several ways to pay and receive

The payment methods available depend on the country you are sending from. They can include Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer and Profee wallet, among other local options. You simply choose one of the payment methods shown in your Profee profile when setting up the transfer.

Profee supports transfers to popular banks in Kazakhstan, including Halyk Bank, ForteBank, Otbasy Bank, Altyn Bank and Bank CenterCredit, among others. The exact receiving options available are shown when you create your transfer.

Safe and regulated

Profee is a European money transfer service. Sibilla Solutions Ltd, which operates under the Profee brand, is regulated as an Electronic Money Institution by the Central Bank of Cyprus. Profee is also certified under PCI DSS security standards for handling payment card data.

Easy to use for you and your recipient

You can make a transfer from home, at work or while travelling using profee.com or the Profee app. You can also track your transfer in your profile.

Your recipient doesn’t need to create a Profee profile. You enter their details when setting up the transfer, and the money is sent directly to the card you select.

Step-by-step guide: How to send money to Kazakhstan with Profee?

Sending money to Kazakhstan with Profee takes five main steps: join Profee, specify the amount, choose how to pay, enter the recipient’s details, and confirm the transfer.

Step 1: Join Profee

Go to profee.com or download the Profee app from the App Store or Google Play.

Create your profile and provide the basic information requested, such as your full name, phone number, email address, nationality (Kazakhstan), date of birth and current residential address.

Once your profile is ready, you can start setting up your transfer.

Step 2: Specify the transfer amount

Choose Kazakhstan as the destination and enter how much you want to send.

You can enter the amount in your sending currency, such as EUR, PLN, CZK, SEK or another currency available for your country. You can also enter how much you want your recipient to receive in Kazakhstani tenge (KZT).

Profee calculates the other amount automatically using the exchange rate offered for your transfer.

Before you continue, you can already see the important numbers:

• how much you send;
• the exchange rate;
• the transfer fee;
• how much your recipient gets.

You’ll know the transfer terms before you pay.

Step 3: Choose how you want to pay

Next, choose one of the payment methods available in your country.

Depending on where you live, your options may include:

Step 4: Add the recipient details

Now enter the details of the person receiving the money in Kazakhstan. For a card transfer, you normally need the recipient’s full name and card number.

Make sure the information is correct before continuing. You can also save a recipient in Profee, so you do not have to enter the same details again next time.

Step 5: Double-check and confirm

Finally, review the transfer before sending it.

Check:

• the sending amount;
• the amount your recipient will get;
• the exchange rate;
• the transfer fee;
• your payment method;
• the recipient’s details.

If everything is correct, confirm the transfer.

You can then follow its status in the app. 95% of Profee transfers arrive within a few minutes, although the exact delivery time can vary depending on the payment method, receiving method, recipient’s bank and any additional security or compliance checks.

What other ways are there to send money to Kazakhstan?

Depending on what you need, you may also come across cash transfer services, SWIFT bank transfers and crypto P2P platforms.

Here is how they differ in practice.

Cash transfer services

Services such as Western Union and MoneyGram can be useful when the recipient specifically wants to collect cash.

The main difference from Profee is the receiving process: with a cash transfer, the recipient may need to visit an agent or partner location. With Profee, supported transfers go directly to the recipient’s card, so there is no cash pickup to organise.

SWIFT bank transfers

You can also ask your bank to send an international SWIFT transfer to Kazakhstan.

This usually requires more banking information, which may include the recipient’s full name, account details and the recipient bank’s SWIFT/BIC information. International bank transfers may also involve intermediary banks and can take longer to process.

For everyday transfers to family or friends, an online transfer service can therefore be simpler.

P2P crypto transfers

Crypto P2P platforms are another option, but the process is very different from a standard money transfer.

You may need to buy cryptocurrency, transfer or trade it through a platform, find another user willing to complete the transaction and then convert it into the currency your recipient needs. Rates and counterparties can vary.

For someone who already understands crypto, this may be familiar. For someone who simply wants to send euros and have their family receive tenge, Profee offers a much more straightforward process.

What happened to KoronaPay transfers from Europe?

If you previously used Zolotaya Korona (KoronaPay) to send money from Europe to Kazakhstan, you will need another option for new transfers.

As of August 2026, KoronaPay Europe says it’s withdrawing its authorisation and that new transfers are unavailable. Previously sent transfers may still be refunded through the Korona mobile app.

You can read more about what has changed and other KoronaPay alternatives available in 2026.

For people living in Europe who need to continue supporting family and friends in Kazakhstan, Profee provides a fully online option with direct transfers, clear terms and multiple payment methods.
