Digitalizing payment systems aims at bringing a huge customer base on the digital net by offering them an easy and secure mode of payment while pivoting towards a Digital Pakistan. While we tread aggressively on the path to achieve goals of smart governance and improved service delivery, providing convenience to the common man and society at large has been the singular motive behind NADRA’s digital intervention under my leadership.”
