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.
