The government plans a nationwide financial literacy programme for 250,000 BISP beneficiaries to help them use digital tools safely and effectively. This builds on a pilot phase completed by January 2024, where 4,000 women beneficiaries were trained in partnership with UNICEF and the German development agency GIZ. “If beneficiaries understand how to use digital wallets securely and plan their expenses, the transition to an open, competitive payment system will be transformative,” he said. With direct control of CNIC-linked wallets, women will be able to plan spending, save small amounts, and access other financial products over time.
