Islamabad, September 23, 2025 – JazzCash has been shortlisted as a finalist at The Money Awards 2025 in two prestigious categories: Payments for accelerating financial inclusion and Banking for innovative lending services. The winners will be announced on October 26, 2025, in Las Vegas, USA.
Out of hundreds of global submissions from over 40 countries, JazzCash stands out as the only Pakistani company recognized at the event. This milestone highlights its role in driving digital financial inclusion, enabling seamless commerce, and supporting Pakistan’s transition toward a cashless economy.
Murtaza Ali, CEO of JazzCash, stated, “This recognition validates our efforts in redefining financial access in Pakistan. Being named in both the Payments and Banking categories reflects the success of our welfare disbursement programs and the growing impact of ReadyCash. These initiatives are building inclusion, trust, and a stronger foundation for Pakistan’s digital economy.”
The finalist recognition is backed by two flagship initiatives. In Payments, JazzCash digitized government welfare disbursements, channeling more than Rs. 110 billion to millions of families securely and transparently. In Banking, its AI-powered ReadyCash platform has provided over 13 million borrowers with instant, collateral-free loans worth USD 1.8 billion, strengthening access to formal finance. Previously, JazzCash has won international acclaim, including the ‘Pioneering Telco to Launch Tap on Phone’ award by Mastercard in 2024 and the GSMA GLOMO Award in 2017 for empowering women in emerging markets.
