BISP introduces Social Protection Wallets and free SIM distribution to modernize welfare payments, enhance transparency, and expand digital financial inclusion for one million beneficiaries across Pakistan.

Despite Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s push for a cashless economy, fewer than 700,000 retailers in Pakistan have adopted digital payment systems. The government aims to link 2 million merchants by mid-2026, but resistance from traders and high cash circulation remain key challenges.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has hailed the launch of digital wallets under the Benazir Income Support Programme as a landmark initiative. The move aims to accelerate Pakistan’s transition to a cashless economy, improve transparency, reduce corruption, and empower citizens through digital financial access.
