KARACHI: BankIslami’s aik has enabled fully digital payments across all passenger touchpoints at Islamabad International Airport. Travelers and visitors can now complete transactions without cash across the airport environment, according to a statement issued on Tuesday.
Merchants across the airport have been onboarded, and QR code deployments have been integrated at key touchpoints. This will allow passengers and visitors to make secure, seamless, and Sharia-compliant digital transactions at all counters, retail outlets and service points.
The implementation complies with the regulations and framework set by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and is a working model for a large-scale adoption of cashless systems in public infrastructure.
Ashfaque Ahmed, chief officer at aik, said, “This deployment reflects our commitment to building practical digital infrastructure that improves everyday transactions. By enabling a fully cashless environment at a major national gateway, we are supporting efficiency, transparency, and financial inclusion at scale. This is not only a project; it is a foundation for Pakistan’s cashless future.”
