Askari Bank is set to host a Financial Inclusion Webinar titled “Islamic Banking in a Digital World” on September 29, 2026, as part of the National Financial Literacy Program. The session is being organised by Askari Bank in collaboration with the State Bank of Pakistan, with a focus on developments in Islamic banking and the role of digital innovation in expanding access to modern Shariah-compliant financial solutions.
The webinar is scheduled to take place from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM on September 29 and will be conducted through Zoom. The session is intended to provide participants with insights into the changing landscape of Islamic banking as financial services increasingly incorporate digital technologies. The organisers are positioning the event as an opportunity for participants to learn more about how technology is influencing the delivery and development of Islamic banking services.
The session will feature industry experts who will discuss the relationship between digital innovation and Islamic banking. The discussion is expected to cover how technological developments are shaping the future of Islamic financial services while maintaining Shariah-compliant principles. The webinar forms part of broader financial literacy efforts aimed at improving public understanding of financial services and developments within Pakistan’s banking sector.
The collaboration between Askari Bank and the State Bank of Pakistan places the webinar within the National Financial Literacy Program, which focuses on increasing awareness and understanding of financial products and services. Through initiatives such as educational sessions and public engagement activities, financial institutions can provide information about different areas of banking and help audiences understand changes taking place across the financial sector.
Islamic banking has become an established part of Pakistan’s financial system, while digital channels are increasingly being incorporated into banking services. The combination of these areas has created new opportunities for financial institutions to provide services through digital platforms while continuing to operate within Shariah-compliant frameworks. The upcoming webinar will examine this changing environment and provide participants with perspectives from industry professionals.
Participants will be able to join the webinar through Zoom using the meeting details provided by the organisers. The Meeting ID is 896 3701 9764 and the passcode is 892570. The organisers have also provided a QR code for participants who wish to access the session through that option.
With financial technology continuing to influence the way banking services are delivered, the September 29 session will focus on the intersection of Islamic finance and digital banking. The webinar will provide an opportunity for participants to hear from industry experts about the developments taking place in this area and understand how digital innovation is contributing to the evolution of Islamic banking services in Pakistan.
