Why the Digital Wallet is a Game-Changer

The old payment system had its flaws: crowded campsites, delayed payments, and risks of fraud. The new BISP digital wallet solves these issues with:

Instant Payments: Funds arrive directly in your wallet—no waiting.
Zero Deductions: Get the full amount (e.g., Rs. 13,500) without hidden charges.
Multi-Program Access: Use it for Kafalat, Taleemi Wazaif, or Ramadan aid.
Secure Transactions: Reduced risk of theft or scams.

No smartphone? No problem! Use USSD codes (*786# for JazzCash, *3737# for EasyPaisa) to access funds.

Step 1: Verify Your BISP Payment Status

Before accessing the wallet, confirm your eligibility and payment status using these two easy methods:

Method 1: Online Verification via BISP 8171 Portal

Visit BISP’s Official Portal.
Enter your 13-digit CNIC (without dashes, e.g., 4410112345671).
Click “Submit” to see your payment status.

Pro Tip: Bookmark the portal for quick checks next time!

Method 2: SMS Verification via 8171

Open your phone’s messaging app.
Type your CNIC number.
Send it to 8171.
You’ll receive an SMS reply like:
- “Eligible: Your payment is processed.”
- “Pending: Under review.”

Note: Use the mobile number linked to your BISP account.

Step 2: How the BISP Digital Wallet Works

Once verified, here’s how the wallet system benefits you:
