In support of Pakistan’s Cashless Economy initiative, JazzCash strengthens its position as the leading digital payments provider by enabling RAAST QR transactions at over 400 fuel stations nationwide, expanding its merchant network to 650,000 and driving interoperability across Pakistan’s digital payment ecosystem.

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.

Bank Alfalah and Shell Pakistan have launched Raast P2M QR payments at 42 Shell COCO fuel stations, enabling customers to scan and pay through any Raast-enabled banking app, promoting secure cashless transactions and supporting Pakistan’s digital payments transformation.

Backed by the World Bank, Pakistan’s $77.73 million Digital Economy Enhancement Project (DEEP) aims to digitize citizen services through a unified super app and portal, improve efficiency across government systems, and enhance public access to digital platforms nationwide.

Jazz and Engro Corporation have finalized a landmark tower infrastructure deal that marks one of Pakistan’s largest private-sector transactions in the digital space. The partnership aims to enhance telecommunications infrastructure efficiency and accelerate digital services rollout nationwide, supporting Pakistan’s vision for a robust digital future.
