What is the BISP 8171 Alert?

The 8171 alert is an official SMS notification system from BISP that keeps you updated on your payment status. Once the payment cycle is ready to begin in your area, you receive a message on your registered mobile number. This SMS confirms the payment date, location, and any other necessary instructions for collection.

If you have not received an SMS yet, make sure you are registered properly with BISP and your correct mobile number is linked to your CNIC. You can verify your registration by sending your CNIC number (without dashes) to 8171 via SMS.
