Bank Account Opening Process for Timely Payments
Women who face issues with fingerprint verification can resolve their payment concerns by following a simple process. First, they need to visit their nearest NADRA office to update their fingerprint records. If the fingerprints cannot be updated, NADRA will issue a verification slip confirming the issue. This slip should then be taken to the nearest BISP office, where a form for Alternate Payment Method can be obtained.
After completing the form and attaching the NADRA-issued slip, it must be submitted back to the BISP office. BISP officials will forward the form to the relevant bank to open the beneficiary’s account. Once the account is successfully opened, the payments will be directly transferred to the beneficiary’s bank account.
