NRPs can open RDA account in Bank Al Falah, Faysal Bank, Habib Bank Ltd, Muslim Commercial Bank, Meezan Bank, Samba Bank, Standard Chartered and United Bank Ltd.īanks have been asked to complete all necessary procedures within 48 hours after completion of documentation and formalities. Applicants also need to provide copy of Pakistani or foreign passport, proof of non-resident status, profession, and source of income. Opening the account requires only a basic set of information and documents such as Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC), National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) or Pakistan Origin Card (POC). “Roshan Digital Account (RDA) is a big step for Pakistani expatriates to participate in nation-building,” said the premier during the launching ceremony of RDA in Islamabad. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan recently inaugurated the project, which is a major initiative of State Bank of Pakistan in collaboration with commercial banks operating in Pakistan. For the first time in Pakistan’s history, nearly nine million Non-Resident Pakistanis (NRPs) have been provided an opportunity to remotely open accounts in Pakistan’s eight major banks through an entirely digital process without the need to visit a bank.
