BankIslami Pakistan Limited has introduced a major digital upgrade at Islamabad International Airport. Through its platform Aik By BankIslami, the bank has enabled fully digital payments across all passenger touchpoints at the airport.
Travelers and visitors can now complete transactions without using cash. Payments can be made digitally at retail shops, service counters, and other airport facilities. The system aims to provide a smooth and secure payment experience for passengers.
The initiative was carried out in partnership with the State Bank of Pakistan and the Pakistan Airports Authority. Senior officials from the central bank, airport management, and Aik By BankIslami attended a ceremony at the airport to mark the achievement.
Ashfaque Ahmed, Chief Officer at Aik By BankIslami, said the project reflects the company’s focus on building practical digital systems. He noted that a cashless setup at a major international gateway improves efficiency and transparency. He added that this step supports wider financial inclusion in Pakistan.
The newly deployed system creates a unified digital payment network. It supports various electronic payment options. These include card-based and other digital methods accepted nationwide. The framework ensures faster processing and stronger transaction security.
Airport authorities believe the move will enhance passenger convenience. Travelers will no longer need to carry cash for most services. The system also reduces manual handling of money. This can lower operational risks and improve accountability.
This development marks another step in Pakistan’s shift toward a digital economy. Aik By BankIslami sees the airport project as a scalable model. Similar systems could be introduced at other high-traffic public locations.
