The National Bank revoked the licenses of 13 currency exchange bureaus in a single decision

The National Bank of Kyrgyzstan has revoked the licenses of 13 currency exchange bureaus to conduct foreign currency exchange transactions. The decision took effect on May 28, 2026.

According to the regulator, the basis for revoking the licenses was a violation of the republic’s legislation and the National Bank’s regulatory legal acts.

The exchange bureaus subject to the regulator’s sanctions are primarily registered in Bishkek. Among them are Lombard “Tian-Shan Group,” “Amanat Finance,” “Asman Cash,” “Baibol Invest,” “Brent Plus,” “Valuta 888,” “Valuta Plus,” “Mobi Finance,” “Nur+1,” “Region-U,” “Safe KG,” “TezEx,” and “Emir Finance.”

Some of the companies lost their licenses relatively soon after receiving them. For example, the license for the “Region-U” currency exchange bureau was issued only in April 2025, “Mobi Finance” in February 2025, and “Asman Cash” in December 2024.

License revocation is one of the most severe measures imposed by the National Bank.
