Banking in Kazakhstan

I am going to KZ in June for two years. Does anyone have
advice on safekeeping your money? What about banks? Is
there such a thing as "dollar accounts"? Can I bank in
dollars and withdraw no problems? Also, is it true there is
a 10% charge on travellers' checks? This may be a silly
questions, but are there atms?

   Hey Janice,
   Next time post your email!!!
   We are in the 19.5th centry over here, ATM's are abundant
   and don't worry about keeping loads of cash over here, u
   won't want to! Just draft from the ATM and u should be fine,
   for larger purchases(ATM limits about $300 PER DAY) U can
   transfer to a small account or borrow from yer buddy!
   Anything else? Just ask......
   Carrera
   PS. Welcome to the hood and stay out of the streets after
   dark! Unless your with the Hulk
