DigiKhata merchants will now be able to continue carrying out airtime top-ups throughout the day, even if their wallet balance is zero. The real-time transactional liquidity product will allow for merchants to serve more customers and increase their income potential.
Speaking on the occasion, Bilal Anjum, Co-Founder & COO of DigiKhata Pvt. Ltd. said “Digitisation of business operations for micro, small and medium-sized local businesses in Pakistan at scale is a new concept. There have been a lot of factors that have limited small businesses from embarking on their digital enablement for some time now. However, DigiKhata endeavours to accelerate this journey for local merchants in Pakistan and optimize the efficiency of their businesses, as well as meet their financial needs with innovative FinTech solutions”
Jalalul Haq, CEO Kuunda Pakistan said “Over the past few decades, financial institutions have had measured success when trying to cater to the needs of those at the bottom of the pyramid. Now, with the advent of technology, innovative financial products, and instant flow of funds digitally, the ability to achieve impact at scale is a realistic goal”
DigiKhata and Kuunda Pakistan endeavors to extend a complete suite of financial products to nearly two million micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and business owners across Pakistan over the coming months.
