BankIslami’s Aik Introduces Digital Payment Facility at Islamabad International Airport

ISLAMBAD: BankIslami’s Aik has enabled fully digital payments across all passenger touchpoints at Islamabad International Airport, allowing travelers and visitors to complete transactions seamlessly without cash throughout the airport.

Merchants across the airport have been onboarded, and QR code deployments have been integrated at key touchpoints. This will allow passengers and visitors to make secure, seamless, and Shariah-compliant digital transactions at all counters, retail outlets, and service points.

The implementation complies with the regulations and framework set by the SBP and is a working model for a large-scale adoption of cashless systems in public infrastructure.

The initiative was marked at an event at the Islamabad airport by officials of aik by BankIslami, the IIAP, and the SBP.

Commenting on the occasion, Ashfaque Ahmed, Chief Officer at aik, said, “This deployment reflects our commitment to building practical digital infrastructure that improves everyday transactions. By enabling a fully cashless environment at a major national gateway, we are supporting efficiency, transparency, and financial inclusion at scale. This is not only a project; it is a foundation for Pakistan’s cashless future.”

By digitizing IIAP, one of Pakistan’s key airports, aik by BankIslami continues to invest in secure and accessible financial solutions that expand digital participation and support national economic modernization.
