Kazakhstan. I think that today most people use our local bank app which does payments using QR code. Some people use bank cards and some people use cash.
Few years ago most people used cash, so this is recent development.
Of course cash is accepted everywhere, it makes me feel uneasy that somewhere in the world digital just replaced cash. Everyone must accept cash by law, at least in ordinary shops.
Bank cards are not accepted everywhere, but in big cities you can expect to pay with bank card in a majority of cases.
Local bank app is accepted almost everywhere, its adoption is tremendous last years. I've yet to find a place which does not accept it.
Big purchases (cars, houses) are mostly done with cash I think, though I don't have statistics. I, myself, don't trust banks with more than few hundreds of bucks. It's convenient to pay for milk with smartphone, but that's about it.
