The bank's form 'Реквизиты для получения международных переводов' (settlement instructions for incoming international transfers). It is undated. All 18 rows were extracted. The official copy on halykbank.kz (storage/app/media PDF) and the 'Correspondent relations' page could not be fetched because the domain was blocked. The rows come from a copy of the bank's form republished by a customer (ksm.kz), so this is a third-party reproduction. Search snippets of the official PDF show a different version, with EUR at ING Belgium (account 301-0104932-59-EUR), TRY at Akbank (TR850004600999888000000070) and KGS at Halyk Bank Kyrgyzstan. Either version may be stale. The bank's Correspondent relations page states 52 NOSTRO accounts, so this list is partial. The RUB rows are the bank's accounts at Russian banks, and the payment is routed to those banks as beneficiary bank. Each correspondent BIC is checked against the Swift directory: a BIC missing from it, or registered to a differently named bank, may be a typo or out of date. Confirm settlement instructions with the bank before relying on them.

Sources & method
Every value comes from a public source, such as Swift’s ISO 9362 BIC directory, GLEIF or the OFAC and EU sanctions lists. Most sources are matched on a BIC or an LEI, not on a name.
Swift GPI membership is matched on names and is indicative. A missing sanctions match does not mean that no listing applies. Always screen against the official lists.
The sanctions facts on this page cover the BIC and its LEI only.
An institution is one entry in the directory: a BIC8 in Swift’s directory, or a firm on a tracked register that holds no BIC. Licences held by an institution with a BIC are shown on its page.

- Ownership and group—GLEIF Level 2 relationship records (accounting consolidation), matched by LEI.
- Overview, leadership, regulators and events—researched per institution by an AI model with web search, from the institution's own website and reports, regulators, company registers and news. Figures, people and events link to their source, and each card shows the research date. AI research can be wrong or out of date, so check key facts at the source.

Assess the financial crime risk behind a BIC
A BIC identifies an institution; it does not assess it. The Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks, built for correspondent banking and counterparty due diligence.
