Leopards Courier Services has entered into a strategic collaboration with Mastercard to introduce exclusive discounts for SME Mastercard holders at Leopards Express Centers nationwide, marking a notable convergence of fintech and logistics in Pakistan’s growing digital commerce landscape. The partnership aims to extend added value to small and medium-sized enterprises by integrating payment innovation with nationwide courier services.
Under the agreement, SME Mastercard holders will be able to access exclusive discounts at Leopards Express Centers across Pakistan. The initiative is positioned as part of a broader effort to create smarter, more rewarding service ecosystems for businesses, particularly those operating in the SME segment where cost efficiency and operational agility are critical for growth.
The Memorandum of Understanding was formally signed by Mr. Zahid Ali Khosa, Vice President Commercial at Leopards Courier Services, and Mr. Yousaf Khan, Manager Specialist SME at Mastercard. The signing ceremony reflected the commitment of both organizations to deepen collaboration between financial services and logistics infrastructure, two sectors increasingly interconnected through digital transformation.
The event was attended by senior representatives from both sides and affiliated partners. Among those present were Mr. Sikandar Ali Khan, Manager Fintech, and Mr. Muhammad Sami, Regional Head Retail South at Leopards Courier Services. The ceremony also included Mr. Noman Lakhani, Co-Founder; Mr. Faizan Lakhani, CEO; and Mr. Syed Ubaid ur Rehman, Corporate Account Manager at Entertainer Asia and Vouch 365, signaling a broader ecosystem approach to value-added partnerships.
By combining Mastercard’s digital payment network with Leopards’ nationwide logistics footprint, the collaboration is designed to support SMEs with practical incentives that directly impact operational expenses. Courier services form a critical component of business operations for online sellers, retailers, and service providers. Through this partnership, SME Mastercard holders can optimize their logistics spending while benefiting from seamless payment processing.
The initiative also reflects a wider trend in Pakistan’s fintech environment, where financial institutions and service providers are increasingly aligning to deliver integrated business solutions. Rather than operating in silos, payment networks and logistics companies are exploring synergies that enhance convenience and strengthen customer loyalty within the SME segment.
Leopards Courier Services has maintained a strong physical presence across Pakistan through its Express Centers, providing domestic and international shipping solutions. The addition of targeted financial incentives for SME Mastercard holders introduces a layered value proposition that merges transactional benefits with logistical reliability. For Mastercard, the partnership extends its SME-focused offerings beyond payments, embedding tangible benefits within day-to-day business activities.
Officials at the signing emphasized that the collaboration is structured to empower SME Mastercard holders with enhanced convenience and expanded growth opportunities. By lowering service costs through exclusive discounts, the initiative seeks to contribute to improved margins for small and medium enterprises, many of which operate in competitive and rapidly evolving markets.
The partnership underscores how fintech-driven alliances are reshaping traditional service models. As digital payments become more deeply integrated into commercial workflows, collaborations such as this demonstrate the potential to create interconnected ecosystems that support business scalability.
With nationwide implementation through Leopards Express Centers, the agreement positions both organizations to deliver measurable value to SME customers, reinforcing their shared focus on innovation, efficiency, and business enablement across Pakistan’s evolving economic landscape.
