Institutions benefit from real-time data tracking, making it easier to manage finances and reduce cash handling risks. Rehmat Ali Hasnie, President & CEO NBP, said that this initiative supports the national vision for a Digital Pakistan and by supporting the increase in digital transactions, NBP aims to contribute to the overall growth of the digital economy and reduce reliance on cash.
