BISP Digital Payments Guide 2025: Here’s How to Receive Payments Through JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and Wallets

For millions of families facing poverty, unemployment, and rising living costs, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) brings financial security, dignity, and greater control over their funds. Here is your complete guide on how the BISP beneficiaries can receive their digital payments through JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and Wallets in 2025.

Why Digital Wallets Matter

Previously, BISP payments were distributed through physical centers, post offices, and partner banks. While effective, these methods often caused:

• Long waiting lines at collection points.

• Extra travel expenses for families in remote areas.

• Payment delays due to processing issues.

• Security risks associated with carrying cash.

With the shift to JazzCash and EasyPaisa, beneficiaries can now withdraw cash from nearby agents, use funds digitally, and avoid unnecessary stress.

What Is a Digital Wallet?

A digital wallet functions like a mobile-based bank account. It allows users to:

• Receive money, including BISP payments.

• Withdraw cash from agents or ATMs.

• Pay bills instantly.

• Shop at stores accepting digital payments.

• Recharge mobile credit or buy data packages.

The two most widely used wallets in Pakistan are JazzCash, operated by Jazz, and EasyPaisa, launched by Telenor. Both are regulated by the State Bank of Pakistan and trusted nationwide.

Receiving BISP Payments via JazzCash

Beneficiaries opting for JazzCash can follow these steps:

1. Confirm Registration with BISP – Ensure CNIC and mobile number are correctly registered. Update details at a BISP office if necessary.

2. Create a JazzCash Account – Download the app or dial *786# from a Jazz number for basic registration.

3. Link CNIC – Payments are transferred only to verified CNIC-linked wallets. Biometric verification may be required.

4. Receive SMS Notification – Beneficiaries are informed once payments are released.

5. Withdraw or Spend – Cash can be collected from JazzCash agents or ATMs, or used directly for payments.

Example: A widow in a small town can now withdraw her stipend from a JazzCash shop just two streets away, instead of traveling to a distant bank branch.

Receiving BISP Payments via EasyPaisa

For EasyPaisa users, the process is as follows:

1. Provide EasyPaisa Number to BISP – Ensure the mobile number linked to the wallet is registered.

2. Activate EasyPaisa Wallet – Install the app or register through a Telenor agent.

3. Verify CNIC – Mandatory for receiving payments.

4. Receive SMS Confirmation – Funds are transferred with a notification.

5. Withdraw or Use Funds – Cash can be withdrawn at EasyPaisa shops or ATMs, or spent digitally.

Example: A father receiving BISP aid can directly pay school fees through EasyPaisa, avoiding the need to carry cash.

Benefits of Digital Wallets

The move to mobile wallets brings several advantages:

• Accessibility – Thousands of agents available nationwide, including rural areas.

• Convenience – No more long queues at banks.

• Security – Digital and traceable transactions.

• Faster Transfers – Funds arrive instantly once released.

• Flexibility – Beneficiaries can withdraw, save, or spend digitally.

This system enhances dignity by giving families control over how they manage their money.

Common Challenges and Solutions

Despite the benefits, some issues may arise:

• No phone or smartphone → Use USSD codes (*786#) on basic phones.

• Wrong number registered → Update details at a BISP office.

• Forgotten PIN → Reset through JazzCash or EasyPaisa helplines.

• Limited agents in villages → Use nearest town agents or ATMs.

Security Tips for Beneficiaries

BISP urges recipients to follow safety practices:

• Never share wallet PINs.

• Withdraw only from authorized agents.

• Verify SMS confirmations before transactions.

• Block wallets immediately if phones are lost.

• Keep CNIC updated and secure.

Toward Financial Inclusion

By integrating JazzCash and EasyPaisa into BISP, Pakistan is advancing financial inclusion. Families without prior access to banking can now:

• Save securely.

• Build digital transaction histories.

• Explore financial services such as microloans and savings plans.

This development is more than a new payment method—it represents a gateway for millions of low-income households to enter the country’s formal financial system.
