history

Nurbank was founded on April 24, 1992 as a small regional bank in Atyrau ; on October 3, she received her banking license. The Atyrau Regional Administration , which owned the bank, supported its establishment. In the mid-1990s, the Kazakh government decided that public corporations could no longer own commercial companies. As a result, a company of Rachat Aliyev , the son-in-law of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev , took over 75 percent of the shares in the bank. In February 1995 the general meeting decided to change the legal form to an open joint stock company . In 1997, Nurbank began building a branch network in the country.

In 2003 the bank's headquarters were relocated to Almaty . The following year an office was opened in the Russian capital Moscow .

In 2007, Aibar Chassenow and Scholdas Timraliev, two managers of the bank, were kidnapped and murdered; their bodies were not found until 2011. From mid-May 2007, the Kazakh authorities began investigating Aliyev for kidnapping. The latter rejected any involvement in the crime and fled Kazakhstan to Austria . In January 2008, he was sentenced in absentia by a Kazakh court to 20 years in prison. After the breakup between Nazarbayev and Aliyev at the beginning of 2007, the majority stake in the bank was transferred to Dariga Nazarbayev , the ex-wife of Aliyev and daughter of the Kazakh president, and her son Nurali Aliyev .

In 2010 Nazarbayeva and Aliyev sold a large part of their shares to Sofia Sarsenova, who thus became the owner of the bank. In 2012, JP Finance Group became the bank's main shareholder.
