BISP digital wallet: withdraw your money from any partner-bank retailer, in any city
On 20 October 2026 BISP Chairperson Senator Rubina Khalid announced interoperability for BISP digital wallets. Women beneficiaries can now withdraw from any authorised retailer of six partner banks, in any city, on any day and at any time. Before, they were tied to one bank or one city.
The six partner banks
HBL, Habib Microfinance, Bank Alfalah, Telenor Microfinance, Bank of Punjab and Mobilink (Jazz) Bank.
How the wallet works
- The wallet is linked to the free Benazir SIM, which BISP staff activate. Getting the SIM and activating the wallet costs nothing.
- When money arrives you get an SMS from 8171 with the details, and another after you withdraw.
- The money stays in the wallet until you need it, so there is no rush to withdraw.
- To withdraw, show your original CNIC and give your registered mobile number.
On 6 November the Prime Minister’s office said all BISP payments are now made through digital wallets.
What to do next
- Collect the Benazir SIM only from a BISP office.
- Keep the confirmation SMS messages after every payment and withdrawal.
- Never hand your phone or SIM to a retailer or agent. If your CNIC has expired, renew it at NADRA so payments are not held.
