Around 70 percent of the unbanked in Pakistan will be able to access socio economic services through Easypaisa by 2015. This was stated by Nadeem Hussain, Founder, President and CEO of Tameer Bank, while chairing the discussion on Financial Inclusion, at the United Nations Private Sector Forum on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), recently.
He said that more than 2.7 billion people in the world have no access to any formal financial services and if the financial inclusion goals are to be achieved, then the solution has to be transformational not transitional. He outlined how Tameer Bank has revolutionised banking in Pakistan with the launch of mobile banking with Easypaisa, which has so far successfully completed 7 million transactions. During the forum he submitted 5-year commitments and a socio-economic development plan, for accelerating the establishment of MDGs through Tameer Bank.-PR
