Kyrgyzstan's RTGS processes KGS settlements. Optima Bank, KICB (Kyrgyz Investment and Credit Bank), and RSK Bank are the primary SWIFT correspondents. Bishkek processes remittances from Kyrgyz workers in Russia — which represent over 30% of GDP — alongside gold export proceeds from the Kumtor Gold Mine, one of Central Asia's largest gold deposits. Post-2022 sanctions on Russia have redirected some remittance flows through Turkish or Chinese intermediaries.
