The design of bank cards in Kazakhstan has evolved from simple visuals into sophisticated concepts inspired by neo-futurism and cyberpunk aesthetics. Recent card series reinterpret national symbols, transforming cultural heritage into digital art objects.

Cultural heritage

Illustrations by artist Aigerim Karibayeva have helped turn Kazakhstani bank cards into collectible art pieces. Her work offers a contemporary take on steppe motifs and traditional imagery, blending national ornamentation with modern design.

Astana Bank was among the first to issue cards featuring Karibayeva’s illustrations, including flying swallows, a braided girl and original ornamental patterns. The bank’s license was revoked in 2018, making these cards rare and sought-after collectibles today.

The hunt for favorite heroes and idols

For consumers seeking pop culture themes, Freedom SuperApp offers a wide range of customizable card designs.

Characters from Marvel, DC and popular anime franchises now appear on Freedom Bank cards, turning everyday financial tools into personal merchandise.
