Karachi: BankIslami has announced significant enhancements to its digital Islamic banking platform, ‘aik’, emphasizing its dedication to promoting Shariah-compliant banking in Pakistan. The upgraded platform now offers a more intuitive and seamless user experience, enabling customers to open accounts instantly via their smartphones. This strategic move aligns with the State Bank of Pakistan’s “Go Cashless” initiative, integrating Raast QR payments for small merchants.
Through ‘aik’, BankIslami is broadening its digital outreach by providing instant current and saving account services, targeting various customer segments and promoting financial inclusion across the nation. The platform’s expansion aims to facilitate a cashless economy, offering Shariah-compliant digital payment solutions.
In addition to banking services, ‘aik’ is evolving into a comprehensive Islamic lifestyle application. The new ‘aik Deen’ module offers features such as Azaan alerts, a digital Quran, an Islamic calendar, and live streaming from Makkah and Madinah, enhancing the user experience with religious resources.
The platform also introduces modern digital conveniences like bill splitting, gifting money, and referral rewards, adding value to the user experience. “This upgrade positions aik as more than a banking app, it is a lifestyle companion for customers seeking a Shariah-compliant way of life,” stated Ashfaque Ahmed, Chief Officer of aik.
Rizwan Ata, the President and CEO of BankIslami, emphasized the bank’s mission to provide accessible and trusted Islamic banking solutions, stating, “We are empowering every Pakistani with a modern, Shariah-compliant alternative, taking a meaningful step toward our mission of ‘Saving Humanity from Riba’.”
