In a groundbreaking move to enhance digital identity verification, the Pakistan Fintech Network (PFN) recently hosted an exclusive session with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) to showcase the launch of Nishan Pakistan. This new digital onboarding platform is set to revolutionize the way businesses access NADRA’s ID Verification Services (IDVS), streamlining the process for companies across Pakistan.
The session, which was attended by key stakeholders from Pakistan’s fintech ecosystem, including fintechs, Payment Service Providers (PSPs), Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), and Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs), provided a deep dive into the innovative features of the Nishan Pakistan platform. The goal of the session was to demonstrate how businesses can seamlessly integrate with NADRA’s IDVS via this new platform, significantly improving the efficiency and reliability of ID verification processes.
A major highlight of the session was a live demonstration by NADRA representatives. They showcased how companies can easily sign up for IDVS through Nishan Pakistan, offering a practical guide on navigating the platform’s user interface. This live demo proved to be an invaluable opportunity for attendees, as they were able to see firsthand how the platform works and how it can be integrated into their existing business models.
The participation in this session was overwhelming, with a wide range of stakeholders eager to streamline their ID verification processes. The fintech and regulatory collaboration underscored the growing importance of improving digital identity verification solutions in Pakistan, especially for industries heavily reliant on secure customer onboarding.
Throughout the session, NADRA representatives were highly engaged, addressing various challenges that fintechs face in implementing secure and reliable identity verification solutions.
