Rakishev was ranked the fifth most influential businessman in Kazakhstan and the seventh richest person in Kazakhstan by Forbes Kazakhstan's annual ranking.

In 2014, Rakishev obtained a stake in BTA Bank from the Kazakh government, after the Kazakh dictator Nursultan Nazarbayev temporarily nationalized the bank.

Nazarbayev had seized BTA Bank from Kazakhstani billionaire and pro-democracy activist Mukhtar Ablyazov, who feuded with Nazarbayev.

Rakishev obtained a controlling stake in the company.

The main assets of the company were its claims against Ablyazov, estimated at $6 billion.

On February 6, 2014, JSC Kazkommertsbank and Kenes Rakishev reached a final agreement to acquire 46.5% of the shares of JSC BTA Bank each from JSC National Welfare Fund Samruk-Kazyna.

The acquisition and subsequent merger of BTA and KKB were expected to create the largest universal bank in the region.
