Mobilink Bank has received two recognitions at the 23rd CFA Society Pakistan Annual Excellence Awards, securing the Best Digital Banking Services Award for the fourth consecutive year and the Gender Diversity Award. The awards recognise the bank’s performance in digital banking services and its progress in workplace diversity. The latest recognition adds to Mobilink Bank’s record in the digital banking category, where it has retained the award for four consecutive years. The bank shared the announcement through its official LinkedIn account, describing the achievements as a reflection of its continued efforts to make financial services more accessible to individuals, small businesses and women across Pakistan. The recognition also highlights the role of digital financial services and gender representation in the country’s banking sector, where institutions are increasingly focusing on technology-led services and broader access to financial products.
According to the bank, it has served more than 67 million registered users alongside JazzCash, while its platform has over 23 million women users. These figures highlight the scale of its digital financial services and the participation of women within its customer base. The bank also reported that women account for 44% of its senior leadership, a figure it cited in connection with the Gender Diversity Award. The announcement links these achievements to its broader objective of expanding access to financial services for different customer segments. However, the bank’s post does not provide a breakdown of the registered users by product, the number of active users or the methodology used to calculate the reported figures. It also does not specify the award assessment criteria or the individual initiatives that contributed to the gender diversity recognition.
Mobilink Bank said its employees have played an important role in achieving these milestones, acknowledging the contribution of its workforce to its digital banking and inclusion efforts. The bank described its ambition of becoming a future-focused digital bank that can serve individuals, small businesses and women through more accessible financial services. Its latest recognition places digital banking delivery and workplace representation at the centre of its public positioning. The Best Digital Banking Services Award, secured for the fourth consecutive year, reflects repeated recognition in the category, while the Gender Diversity Award adds a separate dimension to the bank’s achievements. Together, the awards highlight two areas the institution has identified as priorities: technology-led banking services and greater representation of women in leadership.
The announcement comes as digital financial services remain an important part of Pakistan’s banking sector, particularly in reaching customers who may have limited access to traditional banking channels. Mobilink Bank’s reported user figures, including more than 23 million women users, indicate the scale of its reach alongside JazzCash. Its reported 44% female representation in senior leadership also provides a measure of women’s participation within its management structure. While the bank has not shared further details about the award evaluation process or specific programmes behind the results, the two recognitions provide an update on its stated progress in digital banking and gender diversity. Mobilink Bank said the awards would motivate its team to continue improving its services and working towards wider financial access for individuals, entrepreneurs and women across the country.
