Paper receipts are a thing of the past: MBANK is the first to digitize payments for the Ministry of Natural Resources

28 April 2026

Payments for the services of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology and Technical Supervision are now fully available online — in just a few clicks.

A digital breakthrough for the environment

Previously, paying environmental fees and charges for the use of natural resources was a lengthy process: visiting bank branches, handling paper receipts, and waiting in queues. In partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources, the bank has effectively created a new digital channel where no automated systems previously existed.

This is not just a button in the app, but a full-fledged digital catalog. Around 19 categories have been integrated into the system — from specialized industry fees to national initiatives.

Interesting fact: why does it matter right now?

Kyrgyzstan is home to more than 6,500 glaciers and around 30,000 rivers. This is our greatest natural wealth, and it requires protection. Digitizing payments is not only about convenience but also about sustainability: отказ from millions of paper receipts helps preserve entire groves of trees.

Supporting “Jashyl Muras”

A special place in the new service is given to the “Jashyl Muras” project. This is a large-scale national initiative aimed at greening the country, launched at the initiative of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic. The project encourages every citizen and business to contribute to building a “green future.”

Now, through MBANK, anyone can make a donation in just a few clicks to support tree planting and the country’s ecosystem. This makes participation in the government program transparent and accessible to every smartphone user.

How it works: quick guide

The entire process takes less than a minute. To make a payment, follow these steps:
• Open the MBANK app
• Go to the “All services” section
• Enter “Ministry of Natural Resources” in the search bar
• Select the required service from the list
• Enter the payer’s details (full name or company name)
• Choose the region and confirm the payment

Why does it matter?

The launch of this feature solves the main user pain point — time loss. MBANK is the first bank in Kyrgyzstan to digitize the full range of services of the Ministry of Natural Resources and make environmental payments available online.
