Meezan Bank has recently expanded its digital payment solutions by deploying Meezan Raast QR at Nando’s Pakistan outlets, aligning with the State Bank of Pakistan’s broader push toward digitization and cashless transactions. This initiative underscores the bank’s commitment to promoting financial inclusion and facilitating secure, convenient payment experiences for everyday consumers. The deployment marks a strategic step in Meezan Bank’s ongoing efforts to integrate digital banking solutions into mainstream retail environments while adhering to Shariah-compliant principles.
As part of the rollout, Meezan Bank staff conducted live demonstrations and hands-on training sessions for Nando’s attendants and customers, providing detailed guidance on using Meezan Raast QR for payments. By simply scanning the QR code via the Meezan Mobile App, users can complete transactions instantly, securely, and without the need for cash, streamlining the payment process in fast-paced restaurant settings. The practical demonstrations highlighted the ease and efficiency of digital payments, emphasizing speed, security, and user convenience as key benefits.
The implementation of Meezan Raast QR at Nando’s represents a broader trend of accelerating digital adoption across Pakistan, where more merchants are now embracing QR-based payments to cater to an increasingly tech-savvy customer base. By integrating with the Meezan Mobile App, the system ensures that payments are not only fast and convenient but also fully compliant with Islamic banking principles, reinforcing trust among customers seeking Shariah-compliant financial solutions. This initiative contributes to the growing digital ecosystem in Pakistan and complements national objectives to reduce reliance on cash transactions.
Digital transformation in the banking sector is gaining momentum, with QR-based payment systems serving as an effective bridge between traditional banking services and modern financial technologies. Meezan Bank’s approach exemplifies how financial institutions can leverage fintech innovations to enhance customer engagement, improve operational efficiency, and expand access to secure digital payment channels. The collaboration with Nando’s Pakistan further demonstrates how partnerships between banks and retail businesses can accelerate cashless adoption in the consumer segment.
By promoting Meezan Raast QR, Meezan Bank is also supporting the State Bank of Pakistan’s vision for a digitally inclusive economy, which aims to expand access to banking services across urban and rural areas while reducing barriers associated with cash handling. The initiative empowers customers to complete transactions with minimal friction, encouraging broader acceptance of digital financial services and contributing to sustainable economic growth.
The rollout at Nando’s is expected to set a benchmark for similar implementations in other retail and dining chains nationwide. As more businesses integrate QR-based solutions, consumers are likely to experience enhanced convenience, faster service, and a higher degree of confidence in secure, contactless transactions. Meezan Bank’s ongoing commitment to Shariah-compliant digital innovation positions it as a key player in Pakistan’s evolving fintech landscape, driving both financial inclusion and technological adoption in the retail sector.
The successful deployment of Meezan Raast QR reflects a larger movement toward modernizing payment systems, where technology and Islamic finance principles converge to create inclusive, efficient, and accessible financial experiences for all segments of society.
