• Your bank’s app (HBL, Meezan, UBL, MCB etc.) – free instant transfers with Raast.
• SadaPay and NayaPay – digital accounts with debit cards.

Government Services

• Pak ID (NADRA) – apply for or renew your CNIC and other documents online.
• FBR Tax Asaan – check your tax status and file returns.

Food and Shopping
