KSPI Joint Stock Company Kaspi.kz

Kaspi.kz runs a consumer "super-app" in Kazakhstan that bundles three businesses on one account: a payments network that moves money between people and merchants, an online marketplace that connects shoppers with sellers, and a fintech arm that takes deposits and lends to individuals. It earns money from payment and transaction fees, from merchant commissions on the marketplace, and from the spread on consumer loans funded largely by customer deposits. The same customer who pays a bill, shops, and borrows does all of it inside one app, so the three pieces feed each other.
