April 17, 2025by Mujtaba Haider

In collaboration with the State Bank of Pakistan, BankIslami participated in Financial Literacy Week 2025. Through various initiatives, BankIslami promoted financial literacy and raised awareness about financial inclusion and its significance, while reinforcing its mission to advance Islamic banking in the country and save humanity from riba.

The week began with financial literacy camps across the country, including Lahore, Multan, Sahiwal, and Abbottabad. During these camps, the teams engaged with the general public to raise awareness about the critical need for financial independence and propagate knowledge and understanding of key financial concepts, banking products, and services to all consumer segments.

Moreover, BankIslami conducted awareness sessions at over 32 educational institutes and 10 non-profit organizations across Pakistan, including ConnectHear, Fehmida Begum Foundation, and more. These educational institutes and NGOs were also invited to BankIslami branches across Pakistan to provide a first-hand experience of the financial products and services offered, and a peek into the efforts made by financial institutions.

These on-ground efforts were further amplified through print and digital media to reach a broader audience and engage diverse segments of society.

Sharing his thoughts on the initiative, Rizwan Ata, President & Chief Executive Officer of BankIslami, commented: “At BankIslami, our commitment extends beyond merely providing financial products. We aim to equip individuals with the essential knowledge and tools to make informed financial decisions. Through this initiative in collaboration with the State Bank of Pakistan, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of financial understanding, enabling our customers to build a secure and prosperous future.”

Furthermore, the week is set to conclude with a Financial Literacy Walk at Karachi University, bringing together participants from universities, women’s organizations, NGOs, and civil society, reinforcing the importance of financial awareness and encouraging continued dialogue around inclusion, empowerment, and financial well-being.
