What Does “Cashless Airport” Mean?

Under the new system, cash is no longer accepted for transactions within the airport premises. Passengers, visitors, and businesses can now make payments using:

  • Debit and credit cards

  • Mobile banking apps

  • QR-based digital payments

  • Other approved electronic payment methods

These digital options cover parking fees, retail purchases, lounges, food outlets, ticketing services, and other airport facilities.

Role of Meezan Bank

Meezan Bank played a key role in implementing the cashless infrastructure by providing secure and Shariah-compliant digital banking solutions. The partnership ensures smooth, reliable, and efficient transactions while supporting Pakistan’s broader push toward a digital and documented economy.

Benefits for Passengers and Businesses

The cashless transition offers several advantages:

  • Faster transactions and reduced waiting times

  • Improved security by minimizing cash handling

  • Greater transparency and accountability

  • Enhanced passenger experience through modern payment solutions

Airport management has described the initiative as an investment in innovation and operational excellence, aligning Sialkot Airport with international standards.

A Step Toward Digital Pakistan

This development supports the State Bank of Pakistan’s vision for promoting digital payments across the country. As more public facilities adopt cashless systems, Pakistan continues to move toward a smarter, more efficient financial ecosystem.
