Salym — Bai Tushum Bank’s New Debit Card

20.07.2026

Bai Tushum Bank proudly introduces Salym, the first card in its new card lineup. The card’s design is inspired by the concept of Bitiks—ancient Turkic inscriptions that form an integral part of the historical and cultural heritage of the Kyrgyz people. The word bitik means “letter,” “inscription,” or “writing” and symbolizes knowledge, the continuity of generations, and the preservation of cultural heritage.

The name Salym means contribution and reflects the idea of making a personal contribution to well-being, development, and creation. These values form the foundation of the concept behind Bai Tushum Bank’s new card.

Salym is a universal debit card designed for everyday banking and convenient financial management. It is suitable for paying for goods and services, making transfers, withdrawing cash, online payments, and carrying out other daily financial transactions.

The card is available in three payment systems:

  • Visa — for international payments and travel;
  • UnionPay — for convenient payments and purchases in China and other countries where the payment system operates;
  • Elkart — for everyday payments and transactions within the Kyrgyz Republic.

For more information about the Salym card, including application and service conditions, please visit any Bai Tushum Bank branch or contact the Bank’s Contact Center by dialing 8899.
