The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has introduced a modern and secure payment system called the Benazir Digital Wallet to make financial assistance faster, safer, and more transparent for beneficiaries. In 2026, thousands of families across Pakistan are now receiving their quarterly BISP payments directly into their digital wallets instead of standing in long queues at payment centers.
In this detailed guide, you will learn what the Benazir Digital Wallet is, how to activate it, how to receive your BISP payment step by step, and what to do if your payment does not arrive on time.
What Is the Benazir Digital Wallet System
The Benazir Digital Wallet is an electronic payment system launched by BISP in collaboration with partner banks and mobile wallet services. Instead of collecting cash from camps or agents, beneficiaries now receive their money directly into a registered mobile wallet or bank-linked digital account.
This system helps:
- Reduce fraud and illegal deductions
- Save time and travel expenses
- Provide instant access to funds
- Improve transparency in BISP payments
Through this method, women beneficiaries can withdraw cash, transfer money, or pay bills directly from their wallet.
