The State bank of Pakistan launching a new payment system called ‘Raast’

By

SBP going to launch a new digital payment system ‘RAAST’ from next week.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is ready to introduce a global payment system called ‘Raast’, which will be a huge leap in the digitization of the country’s financial system. Payment systems have been already introduced in modern countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia.

From Monday on wards, the central bank will initiate a new payment system called ‘Rast’, as we believe this a right way forward for the country,” Kamil said.

This development announced by Deputy Governor SBP, Seema Kamil while talking to private media, he said that the central bank will introduce it from Monday, January 11, 2021. “Because we believe this is the right way forward for the country,” Kamil said.

“Despite the availability of 160 million mobile phones, our digital economic partnership is very limited, as people rely on cash to pay,”

Deputy Governor | Kamil

Reduction in cash based transactions

Under the new system, the central bank aims to reduce the amount of cash-based transactions, he said, as the existing system creates a number of social problems.

In the first phase, immediate interest-bearing loans would be introduced to shareholders from listed companies. “In the next phase, it will take several months for the payment system to digitize payments to wages and pensions to government employees, which will be faster, freer and safer,”.
