KARACHI: Easypaisa digital bank is actively supporting the government in delivering vital financial assistance to those who need it most, under the Prime Minister’s Ramazan relief package, a statement said on Friday.

“As part of this initiative, Rs20 billion will be distributed among four million deserving households nationwide, with each family receiving Rs5,000 in financial support. easypaisa digital bank is facilitating the disbursement of much-needed financial assistance to over one million beneficiaries across all four provinces, as well as Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), reinforcing its commitment to fostering financial empowerment nationwide,” the bank said.

Most payments will be made directly into mobile wallets, ensuring a seamless, secure, and efficient disbursement process. Beyond providing immediate relief, this initiative promotes financial inclusion by granting marginalised communities access to mobile wallets -- empowering them with essential banking services such as airtime top-ups, utility bill payments and secure money transfers.

President and CEO of easypaisa digital bank Jahanzeb Khan said, “With over 50 million registered users, we are not just facilitating transactions -- we are driving a financial revolution that empowers millions. Our role in advancing financial inclusion across Pakistan is critical, and we take immense pride in supporting initiatives that create lasting impact.”
