At the same time, the popularity of the Savings Bank has increased. The bank increased the volume of retail deposits by 102.6 billion KZT and brought its volume to 307.1 billion KZT in a year.

Among the banks with the market share of more than five percent, the Savings Bank is the leader for the growth rate: the portfolio has increased by one and a half time.

The bank's share in the market of retail deposits has increased by 1.6 percent and stood at seven percent. Thus, the Savings Bank entered the top 5 leaders in the market of the population's deposits.
