Mohammad Hasan Ayaz, Chief Technology Officer of easypaisa digital bank, has been officially appointed to the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry Standing Committee on Information Technology for 2026 as an honorary member. The appointment recognizes his extensive contributions to building scalable digital financial infrastructure and advancing technology adoption within Pakistan’s financial ecosystem. The Standing Committee brings together leading technologists, industry executives, and policymakers from across the national business landscape to support the country’s broader digital transformation agenda and foster public-private collaboration on critical technology policy issues.
As Chief Technology Officer of easypaisa digital bank, Ayaz oversees one of the largest digital payment networks and retail digital banking platforms in Pakistan. Under his technical leadership, the institution manages complex digital banking operations that handle billions of annual transactions and trillions of rupees in financial throughput. His work focuses on integrating modern cloud architectures, expanding artificial intelligence application frameworks for fraud detection and operational security, and upgrading core banking platforms to ensure robust scalability, uninterrupted uptime, and seamless user experiences for millions of active mobile wallet and banking customers nationwide.
The FPCCI Standing Committee on Information Technology serves as a primary advisory body bridging the private technology sector and federal policy institutions. Throughout 2026, the committee is tasked with formulating strategic policy recommendations, addressing regulatory bottlenecks, advocating for improved digital infrastructure, and fostering an environment conducive to technology investment, software exports, and startup growth. Ayaz’s inclusion on the committee ensures that digital banking, fintech infrastructure, and secure transaction processing perspectives are directly represented in top-level economic and industry policy dialogues.
Pakistan’s financial sector is undergoing a rapid transition toward digital-first models, driven by central bank licensing of digital retail banks, widespread adoption of instant payment systems, and shifting consumer preferences toward mobile financial services. As financial technology becomes increasingly intertwined with overall economic activity, alignment between technology leaders, financial institutions, and business advocacy groups like the FPCCI becomes essential for establishing unified cybersecurity standards, cross-border technology capabilities, and inclusive digital finance policies that cater to both urban and rural demographics.
In his role on the standing committee, Ayaz will collaborate with industry peers to identify collaborative solutions to systemic challenges facing the technology sector, including talent retention, data privacy compliance, digital payment ecosystem interoperability, and the adoption of emerging tools like artificial intelligence in business operations. By leveraging operational insights from managing high-volume digital banking platforms, his participation is expected to contribute significantly toward shaping practical, market-oriented technology frameworks that support Pakistan’s long-term digital economy goals.
