As of June 1, 2026, since the program's inception (February 1, 2024), 316,223 applications for targeted savings (TS) totaling approximately $57.88 million have been processed. These funds were transferred to authorized operators for subsequent deposit into applicants' bank accounts. Most applications were for housing improvements: 201,245 applications totaling $36.94 million were processed. Funds were used for education in accordance with 114,978 applications totaling $20.94 million.

TS recipients can use the funds in full or in part. If a portion of the funds remains unclaimed, it can be held in a targeted savings account (TSC) for 10 years. After this period, the unused balance is transferred to the recipient's individual pension savings account to account for voluntary pension contributions.

The most popular housing improvement program was replenishing housing construction savings for further accumulation (196,893 applications completed, totaling $36.23 million). Funds were also used as down payments for mortgage loans to purchase housing (1,498 applications, totaling $248,940), and for the purpose of acquiring housing through civil law transactions (final settlements), 1,028 applications, totaling $165,660.

Within the TS program for education, the largest amount of funds 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) (106,315 applications, totaling approximately $19.68 million, were completed). The following areas were also in demand: replenishment of an educational savings deposit under an agreement on an educational savings deposit (5,947 applications were completed for a total of over 842.16 thousand US dollars), payment for educational services of foreign educational organizations in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full at one time (for the entire period of study) (2,114 applications were completed for a total of 319.33 thousand US dollars).

Detailed information on TS payments for improving housing conditions and/or paying for education, broken down by authorized operators and regions, can be found on the enpf.kz website.

As a reminder, Kazakhstani children received the next payment of $130.71 per child in 2025, $129.38 per child in 2024, and $100.52 per child in 2023.

Children under 18 receive annual accruals from the National Fund as targeted benefits. According to law, the accruals accrued to young Kazakhstanis remain part of the National Fund's assets and continue to be invested. Through continued investment, each child's targeted benefit amount increases annually through the investment income received.

As a result, the total amount of all accumulated targeted benefits (including the additional annual accrual of investment income) for a child participating in the program:

- Three years, $370.56;

- Two years, $263.93;

- One year, $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 requirements 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 on the accrual of target requirements for children who have reached or will reach 18 years of age this year in the legal representative's personal account is due to the fact that target requirements have acquired the status of TS, and therefore access to information about them is provided directly to the TS recipient (a citizen who has reached or will reach 18 years of age in 2026). These individuals must independently obtain information about their TS through their personal account on the UAPF or e-government websites. Upon reaching 18 years of age, they can contact an authorized operator to open a US dollar bank account and submit an online application for TS payment to improve their housing conditions and/or pay for education. 

Currently, the authorized operators are:

• Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),

• Halyk Bank JSC (for education),

• Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education). 

Statistics on minor children eligible for targeted loans and adult recipients of the TS, as well as on the use of the TS for housing and/or education, can be found on the enpf.kz website.
