Why Are Payments Being Suspended for Three Days?
According to BISP authorities, this three-day break is necessary to make the transition from campsite-based payments to agent-based payments. Previously, women had to wait in long queues at BISP campsites to receive their funds. To eliminate these difficulties, BISP has decided to introduce a simpler method where money will be available at nearby shops or agents. This temporary suspension allows officials to prepare the new system for a smooth rollout.
New Payment Method: How Will It Work?
Starting Monday, all BISP beneficiaries will be able to collect their payments through biometric verification at authorized local agents or shops. This means:
- Women no longer need to visit BISP campsites or wait in long lines.
- Beneficiaries can go to any nearby retailer authorized by BISP.
- Payments will be processed through thumb verification (biometrics).
- This method is safer, faster, and more accessible.
This update applies to all eligible women under BISP, and the aim is to make the program more user-friendly.
