SBP to launch two new initiatives under Roshan Digital Accounts scheme
The Roshan Digital Account initiative was launched in September 2020, and was aimed at facilitating overseas Pakistanis to deposit money in the country's banking services.
Deposits in Roshan Digital Accounts cross $ 800mn mark: SBP
The Roshan Digital Account is for NRPs seeking to undertake banking, payment, and investment activities in Pakistan. Through this account, they will be integrated with Pakistan’s banking and payments system, and would be able to open an account in Pakistan without requiring physical presence either in Pakistan or in any embassy or consulate.
This account provided them access to a range of banking services and investment opportunities in Pakistan.
