The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is preparing to introduce a new payment system for beneficiaries receiving financial assistance under the Benazir Kafalat Programme. Under this arrangement, eligible women will have more options for collecting their quarterly payments through six partner financial institutions.
BISP Chairperson Senator Rubina Khalid shared this important update during an e-Kacheri session on November 4, 2026. She announced that the upcoming quarterly installment would be distributed through an interoperability system designed to make payments easier and more accessible for deserving families.
The new arrangement aims to reduce payment difficulties and give beneficiaries greater flexibility when withdrawing their money.

What Is the New BISP Interoperability Payment System?
Interoperability is a payment arrangement that allows beneficiaries to receive their BISP payments through different participating financial institutions instead of depending on a single payment provider.
Under the new system, women enrolled in the Benazir Kafalat Programme will be able to visit an authorized payment point associated with any of the six participating financial institutions to collect their available funds.
According to the announcement, the participating institutions include:
| No. | Partner Financial Institution |
|---|---|
| 1 | Habib Bank Limited (HBL) |
| 2 | HBL Microfinance Bank |
| 3 | Bank Alfalah |
| 4 | JazzCash |
| 5 | Easypaisa |
| 6 | Bank of Punjab (BOP) |
This change is expected to provide beneficiaries with more convenient payment options and improve access to financial services.
However, beneficiaries should collect their money only from authorized payment points operating under the BISP system.

How Will Beneficiaries Receive Their BISP Payments?
The new payment arrangement will also introduce an SMS notification process to keep beneficiaries informed about their money.
Senator Rubina Khalid explained that beneficiaries will receive a message on their registered mobile numbers once their payments have been transferred to their accounts.
The expected payment process will work as follows:
- BISP transfers the quarterly installment to the beneficiary’s account.
- The beneficiary receives an SMS notification on her registered mobile number.
- After receiving the message, she can visit a nearby authorized payment point.
- She can collect her available payment through a participating financial institution.
- After the withdrawal, another confirmation SMS will be sent with details of the transaction.
This process will help women know when their payments are available and provide an additional record of their transactions.
Important: Do not visit a payment point or trust anyone claiming that your installment has been released until you receive an official payment confirmation.

Important Instructions for BISP Beneficiaries

Beneficiaries should follow these important instructions when collecting their money:
- Keep your registered mobile phone with you during the payment process.
- Never hand your mobile phone to a retailer, agent, or any other person.
- Save the SMS received before collecting your payment.
- Keep the second confirmation message after withdrawing your money.
- Always count your cash before leaving the payment point.
