A great place, this bank will be remembered for my whole life, it is a magic bank, located near the park 38panfilovtsev, opposite the dining room of the Kaganate, they feed very tasty and inexpensive, in general, this bank helped us a lot, I recommend visiting.
Good bank, courteous staff ! We helped to withdraw the required amount in local currency from the Russian card without commission.
There was no waiting time, I went to the ATM and immediately offered help.
You can withdraw tenge from a Russian ruble card at an ATM. I was withdrawing from the Alfa-Bank card, the commission turned out to be 10% of the amount. But when I was left without any local currency at all, it was tolerable)
The most worthless VTB bank, none of the staff responded to my trouble, an amount of money was withdrawn from my card without my knowledge, and they did not help in anything. I do not recommend VTB Bank
The Kazakh branch turns out to be not exactly a Russian bank. It's just impossible to withdraw money with a passport, as in Russia. It is necessary to have a card. Overall, the service is good, the staff is very polite and attentive. And the rate for withdrawing money from the card in local currency is very good. It is more profitable than through exchangers
I have withdrawn tenge to the Russian Federation card, no problem. But you need a card, the sticker does not work, because there is no contactless payment.
In January 2024, the bank's employees gave very incomprehensible advice on opening an account and using a bank card. The bank card must be virtual. Although another VTB branch in Almaty offered plastic.
It looks good on the outside, but inside it's much worse. The floors are patched, the tiles are all broken, it's stuffy in the ATM area and you can suffocate in the heat. The service is average.
Served well, the bank employees are polite. When you enter this bank, it feels like a time machine takes you back 15, 20 years. There are no papers with your queue number. It's just like in the old days, a live queue. The building is gloomy, the tiles on the floor are in poor condition. In general, I would like the room to be more modern and solid.
The best Bank . It works around the clock - for cash withdrawals . Residents of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation up to 500,000 tons . Per day . The trucker himself - unhooked at the gas station - on his head to the Bank . There are no problems - there were no questions about getting to the traffic police Bank, as it is convenient for you to call it . I love Almaty - I'm always glad to stop by. Good luck to everyone )
The bank is obsolete. As a result of the sanctions, the application does not work on iOS, the employees are not the most polite guys, although they try to do their job. The place is not the most convenient location, but at least in the city center.
Polite staff. They will help, prompt! The electronic queue does not work - it is not convenient when there are a lot of people.
There are broken tiles on the floor in the common room. There is a lot of writing about this. The manual does not read
There were tourists in Almaty, there were questions, they turned to the only bank that somehow works with Russian cards. The young man could not answer the questions we were interested in, referring to the fact that we are from Russia.
Terrible department (( huge queue, barely alive employees. There is no repair, the tiles on the floor are broken. I was there 2 times and both times I left with nothing. I haven't solved the issue. The incompetence of the staff is surprising.
Queues. There are few ATMs for replenishment or they do not work. Only one ATM can take 50 bills, and no more. The rest take one bill each. A powerful ATM is constantly beeping, beeping, what is it like for bank employees, this ATM is next to them. The commission for replenishment of the account in Russian rubles is 15%, it is only to put cash rubles into a ruble account. The transfer to Russia itself is rubles, with a small commission, but try to put these rubles for 15% of the commission or convert tenge into rubles. The exchange rate is much worse than the exchanger. Currently, Kontakt charges less than 1% commission for a transfer to the Russian Federation.
A great example of the effectiveness of sanctions, the staff is certainly trying, but the bank still does not export. Mobile banking is terrible, the application is extremely inconvenient and poorly done
Oriental relaxation is something!!! I sat in the hall for half an hour out of necessity and all the time I wanted to run out to buy liquid nails and glue all the tiles on the floor. Every last one just lay there and rumbled. But I was lonely ((the staff didn't pay attention at all. Well, that's fine.
The only bank in Almaty where tenge can be withdrawn from a Russian card. I recommend everyone to come here if there are rubles on a Russian card and there is no cash.
The ATM does not issue money on the street. We went inside, I ask the employee what the ruble / tenge exchange rate is when withdrawing from the world card - the answer is killed - find out in your own country...in short, citizens of the Russian Federation are not particularly digested. As a result, VTB calculated the exchange rate itself through a balance request and an application.
The only ATM that worked after 22 hours managed to withdraw money from Alfa Bank. Others didn't work for some reason. ATMs are operated by those inside the building.
Rude employees, and during the time they do not open the bank, the work schedule is from 9.00 and there is no one at the workplace

I have not met worse banking services, and it is better in the KZ, too, to be honest, this is a disease of the entire service sector. A live queue, unqualified staff, terrible repairs, ancient ATMs, a pre-historic application, etc.
