In a major step toward deepening financial inclusion and democratizing access to capital markets, JazzCash has announced a strategic partnership with KTrade Securities to introduce real-time stock trading directly through the JazzCash mobile application. This collaboration marks a transformative milestone for Pakistan’s financial ecosystem, bridging the gap between digital finance and traditional stock market investment.
The new feature allows JazzCash users to seamlessly trade stocks listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) from within their mobile wallets. By integrating secure trading capabilities into one of Pakistan’s most widely used digital payment platforms, the initiative aims to simplify investing, expand access to financial markets, and empower a broader segment of the population to participate in wealth creation opportunities.
The development of this product represents the culmination of four years of consistent collaboration, technological innovation, and coordinated efforts between JazzCash and KTrade Securities. This long-term partnership has been supported by key institutions including the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited (NCCPL), and the Central Depository Company (CDC). Their guidance and regulatory support have been instrumental in ensuring the successful rollout of this pioneering service within a secure and compliant framework.
KTrade Securities, one of Pakistan’s leading brokerage houses, was launched with a clear mission—to enable one million Pakistanis to invest in the local stock market. This vision has driven every initiative undertaken by the company, and the collaboration with JazzCash is seen as a critical step toward achieving that goal. By combining JazzCash’s massive digital reach with KTrade’s market expertise, the partnership is expected to bring retail investing to millions of Pakistanis who previously found stock trading complex or inaccessible.
Aamir Ibrahim, CEO of Jazz, and Murtaza Ali, CEO of JazzCash, have been key advocates of expanding Pakistan’s digital finance ecosystem. Their leadership, along with the efforts of Farrukh H. Khan, CEO of the Pakistan Stock Exchange, and Aamir Aftab, Chief Product Officer of Jazz, has been vital in driving the collaboration forward. The joint commitment reflects a broader effort to strengthen Pakistan’s financial markets through innovation, inclusion, and digital transformation.
Through this integration, users can now open brokerage accounts, access real-time market data, and execute trades securely from their mobile phones without needing multiple platforms or intermediaries. The convenience and simplicity of this process are expected to attract a new wave of investors—particularly young professionals and digitally savvy individuals—who are eager to participate in Pakistan’s growing capital markets.
The collaboration between JazzCash and KTrade underscores a shared mission to build a financially inclusive Pakistan, where investment opportunities are accessible to all, not just a select few. By leveraging technology and regulatory support, both institutions are setting the foundation for a more dynamic and participatory financial ecosystem.
