3. An authorized bank makes a payment and (or) money transfer on a currency transaction if there are documents and (or) information submitted by a resident or non-resident in accordance with the Rules.
For the purposes of the Rules, if the currency of payment and (or) money transfer differs from the United States dollar (hereinafter referred to as the USA), the equivalent of the amount of payment and (or) money transfer is calculated using the market exchange rate on the day of the transaction.
The rules for the implementation of export-import currency control in the Republic of Kazakhstan, approved by the National Bank in accordance with subparagraph 3) of paragraph 4 of article 5 of the Law on currency regulation and currency control, provide for the peculiarities of payments and (or) money transfers under cuurrency agreements on export and import, covered by the requirement to obtain an account number.

2) provision of financial services in the securities market to a resident by a non-resident, having the right to carry out professional activities in the securities market according to the legislation of the state where he is registered;
3) provision of services to a resident by a non-resident under a contract of delegation.
5. When making a payment and (or) transferring money under a currency agreement, which is covered by the requirement to obtain an account number, the resident indicates the details of such an agreement and his account number in payment documents. To identify the amounts received, the resident notifies the non-resident of the need to indicate in the payment documents on the money transfer in his favor the details of the currency agreement and his account number.
When making a payment and (or) money transfer under a currency agreement, which is covered by the requirement to obtain an account number, the authorized bank (its branch) checks the presence of the details of the currency agreement and its account number in the payment document.
