He said the number of accounts and amounts were growing everyday.
Roshan Digital Account is an opportunity for overseas Pakistanis allowing them to remotely open an account in Pakistan through an entirely digital and online process without any need to visit a bank branch.
These accounts provide innovative banking solutions to those seeking to undertake banking, payment and investment activities in Pakistan.
I have dollar account in local bank for the last more than 15 years.
Can I convert that USD account into Roshan Digital Account??
