Preparing for Ramazan Payments
Beneficiaries should confirm that their personal information is accurate and their digital wallets are activated before Ramazan. Those who have previously received BISP support should check wallet status, while new recipients need to complete setup procedures. Being proactive will ensure that funds are accessible as soon as the payments are released.
Challenges and Considerations
While the digital wallet system is a major improvement, challenges remain. Limited digital literacy and uneven infrastructure may hinder some users, particularly in rural areas.
