Awareness

“Many digital payment solutions have entered Pakistan and now awareness of digital payments is needed,” said Muhammad Aslam Hayat of Telenor Microfinance Bank while talking to the Digital Markhor.

About 50% of Pakistanis are illiterate which suggests the appliance has got to be so simple and straightforward to use in order that everyone can understand,” Muhammad Aslam Hayat said.

“To attract an individual who prefers cash payment towards a digital payment system, we’d like to form it so efficient that payment might be made in five seconds almost like scanning a QR code and typing the quantity, otherwise people are going to be discouraged.”
