According to Bank Alfalah, the Alfa app introduces a broad range of innovative features designed to enhance savings, investment, and borrowing options within a user-friendly digital environment. Muhammad Yahya Khan, Chief Digital Officer of Bank Alfalah, presented the app’s capabilities, which include facilities for viewing net worth, investing in various financial instruments such as mutual funds and treasury bills, and accessing quick loans or credit options.

The app also supports opening and managing digital accounts in multiple currencies, including PKR, USD, GBP, EUR, and AED, with options for instant currency conversion.
