                                               An alternative way to refuse loans and credits appeared in Kazakhstan

  Now, citizens of Kazakhstan can voluntarily ban bank loans and micro-loans through a Single Contact Center. To do this, just call the short number 1414.

   To block the issuance of borrowed funds, dial the number 1414 from a mobile device registered in the database of mobile citizens. After selecting the language of communication (Kazakh, Russian), the intelligent voice robot will specify which service the subscriber has requested, and a description of the service can be made in any form. For more accurate recognition of the request, it is recommended to use the following phrases when applying: "loan waiver", "loans ban", "loans refusal application", "loans online closure", "loans blocking shutdown" and other similar formulations. Next, the voice assistant will ask you to clarify whether it is necessary to establish a voluntary waiver of bank loans. After answering "yes" in the affirmative, you will need to enter your IIN and confirm your actions by entering an SMS code that will be sent to the same number.
