NBP launches ATM services at cattle market to promote cashless transactions

KARACHI: The National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) has installed an ATM booth at the cattle market near the Northern Bypass in Karachi to provide fast, secure and convenient banking services during the busy Eid season, a statement said on Wednesday.

This initiative, part of the State Bank of Pakistan’s ‘Go Cashless’ campaign, is designed to promote digital transactions and financial inclusion. Dedicated NBP staff are stationed on-site to support customers and ensure smooth ATM usage, enhancing overall user experience.

The availability of ATM services within the market reduces the need to carry large sums of cash, increasing both convenience and safety for traders, farmers and buyers.

Faisal Ahmed Topra, SEVP and Group Chief (A), Retail Banking Group at NBP, emphasised the bank’s commitment: “We are proud to extend our ATM services to the cattle market in Karachi, enabling secure and convenient cashless transactions. This initiative supports seamless business activity and reflects our commitment to financial inclusion.”

By offering modern banking tools in traditionally cash-heavy environments, NBP is helping drive economic activity and customer trust, especially in preparation for Eid-related livestock sales.
