Askari PayPak Card launch enabled by TPS

Askari Bank Limited is proud to launch Askari PayPak Card. This initiative was undertaken in association with TPS as a trusted technology partner.

PayPak is a domestic payment scheme which was launched earlier this year by 1LINK – the largest domestic interbank network in the country. The launch of PayPak card by Askari Bank is a progressive step towards enabling greater financial inclusion in Pakistan. With a domestic scheme in place, the Bank will be able to provide efficient and cost effective payments solutions to its customers. Askari PayPak cards holders will have the ease of making cash withdrawals through ATMs across the country.

Askari Bank deployed the TPS card management and transaction switching platform to quickly roll-out innovative services to furnish its cards, payments and digital banking roadmap. The swift execution of the Askari-PayPak project by TPS is a testament to its delivery capability which enabled the Bank to reduce its time-to-market and fulfill its commitment to the market.
