What Is the BISP Sahulat Account Payment System?
The BISP Sahulat Account is a newly introduced banking system created especially for BISP beneficiaries. Through this system, each eligible woman receives her cash payments directly in a personal bank account opened and verified through biometric methods. Unlike old systems that relied on payment agents or branchless banking without much oversight, this new model gives beneficiaries full control of their funds through either cheque books or PayPak debit cards.
The system has been initially launched in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Quetta, Peshawar, Muzaffargarh, Muzaffarabad, and Gilgit under a pilot phase, and will expand to more districts in the coming months.

Why This Change Was Necessary
The BISP Sahulat Account program was launched to address past issues in cash distribution, including:
- Delays in receiving payments
- Biometric mismatches
- Misuse of funds by third-party agents
- Limited access to digital banking
By ensuring that every beneficiary has her own verified bank account, the government aims to create a system that is not only more secure but also user-friendly, especially for rural women and older citizens.
