ForteBank recognized as “Bank of the year in Kazakhstan” by The Banker for the second year in a row

According to S&P analysts: “We have affirmed our ratings on the bank because we expect that its professional management team, supportive shareholder, good level of disclosure, and very limited related-party business will enable it to withstand increased industry risks in the Kazakh banking system. We also think that the bank's liquidity is sufficient and well-managed with a good liquidity buffer. Looking ahead, we anticipate that the bank could further develop its broad-based franchise in Kazakhstan.”

“ForteBank continues to demonstrate positive financial performance and operating results, maintaining a leading position in terms of capital adequacy and liquidity. The financial performance reflects our customers’ high confidence in the bank and the excellent work of the entire team.”
