Roshan Digital Account, a major initiative in collaboration with eight commercial banks, had been launched in September for providing digital banking facilities to overseas Pakistanis. It also enabled investment in Naya Pakistan Certificates (NPCs) issued by the Government of Pakistan at very attractive risk-free rates.
Prime Minister Imran Khan had launched the Roshan Digital Account project on September 10.
Under the initiative, the Pakistanis living abroad would be able to operate their accounts without visiting the country and could avail facilities of direct banking, bill payment and other e-commerce facilities.
These accounts could also be used for investments in the stock exchange and property within Pakistan. The consumers would also have the option to either open a Pakistan currency or foreign currency account.
