BISP’s New Banking System has officially transformed the way financial assistance is delivered to millions of women across Pakistan. In August 2025, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) introduced a direct cash transfer system that sends payments straight into beneficiaries’ bank accounts, ensuring faster, safer, and more transparent disbursements.
This initiative is part of the government’s broader vision to empower women financially, promote digital inclusion, and eliminate middlemen from the aid distribution process.
What Is BISP’s New Banking System?
BISP’s New Banking System is a modernized payment method that allows eligible women under the Benazir Income Support Programme to receive financial aid directly into their personal bank accounts.
Instead of collecting cash from designated centers or agents, beneficiaries can now withdraw their funds using ATMs, mobile banking apps, or over-the-counter banking services.
