How the Bank Payment System Works
Women can now directly withdraw their funds from the above banks using biometric verification, ensuring secure and transparent delivery.
Direct and Secure Withdrawals
Payments are transferred straight from the BISP treasury to your assigned bank — no agents or hidden deductions. Each withdrawal generates an instant receipt for verification.
Every beneficiary must verify their thumb impression to confirm identity. If biometric verification fails, they can update records through NADRA before retrying at the bank.
