New BISP 8171 Wallet Registration 2026
A major update for 2026 is the mandatory shift toward Digital Wallets. This system reduces queues and prevents illegal deductions by agents.
To activate your wallet, you must have a SIM card registered on your own CNIC. Once your status is “Eligible” on 8171, visit a BISP center for a one-time biometric (thumb) verification. Your funds will then be transferred directly to your mobile wallet, which can be accessed via bank apps or authorized retailer shops.
