From February 1, 2024, to August 1, 2026, targeted savings (TS) payments under the National Fund for Children program were made to 338,252 recipients totaling approximately $67.8 million.

From the beginning of 2026, as of August 1, 2026, 142,855 citizens have received TS payments totaling $36.53 million. Of these, $25.76 million was transferred to 101,472 Kazakhstani citizens for housing improvements, and $10.77 million was transferred to 41,383 Kazakhstani citizens for education costs.

All funds were transferred to authorized operators for subsequent deposit into applicants' bank accounts.

As a reminder, TS recipients have the right to use the entire amount or part of it. Any unclaimed funds remain in the targeted savings account (TSA) for 10 years. After this, the unused balance is transferred to the recipient’s individual pension account to account for voluntary pension contributions.

The most popular housing improvement program was replenishment of housing construction savings accounts for further accumulation: 100,091 recipients received payments totaling $25.34 million. Additionally, $150,960 was paid to 671 young Kazakhstanis to make a down payment for a mortgage loan, and $85,640 was paid to 375 Kazakhstanis to purchase housing through civil law transactions (final settlements).

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): 39,060 citizens received payments under this program totaling approximately $10.18 million.

The following areas were also in demand: replenishment of an educational savings deposit under an agreement on an educational savings deposit - funds were transferred to 1,597 recipients in the amount of 390.73 thousand US dollars, and 597 citizens were sent 145.88 thousand US dollars to pay 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).

As a reminder, accrual of target benefits ceases upon the death or entry into force of a court decision declaring the death of a target benefit participant. To receive target payments/TS in connection with the death of a target payment participant/TS recipient, their heirs may apply to the UAPF in accordance with the procedure established by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

As of August 1, 2026, payments totaling $71,200 have been made to the heirs, with 215 individuals receiving the funds.

Detailed information on TS 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 requirement amount increases annually due to the investment income received.

As a result, the total amount of all accumulated target requirements (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 under 18 participation in the program using their child's IIN on the website kids.enpf.kz, in their personal account on the eGov.kz e-government portal, and in the eGov Mobile and select second-tier bank mobile apps.

If information on target benefits accrued to children for the 2025 reporting year is not displayed, you must update your documents in the mobile apps by following this path:

• In the eGov Mobile app: "Digital Documents" - "Family" - "Update Document List" - "National Fund Accruals";

• In second-tier bank mobile apps, such as Kaspi.kz: "Gosuslugi" - "All Documents" - "Update Document List" - "National Fund Accruals".

The absence of information on the accrual of target benefits 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 benefits 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.
