Mobile application TAG Approved by SBP to Operate as an Electronic Money Institution

This Rawalpindi-based startup was founded by Talal Ahmad Gondal, Ahsan Khan, and Alexander Lukianchuk, and also received an undisclosed amount of pre-seed investment from regional and international investors including former executives of N26 and Revolut.

Last year in November, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) approved TAG to operate as an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) in Pakistan.

“There is more demand than we had initially anticipated,” said Gondal, 29, a former executive at Amazon.com Inc. “Other than many retail customers still on the waiting list, we have also been approached by several organisations to digitise the payroll system that have been dealing in cash until now.”
