Intending overseas employment seekers can deposit application service fee in Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment through nationwide JazzCash retail outlets.

Following an accord with National Bank of Pakistan, JazzCash would facilitate job pursuing applicants to use JazzCash Mobile Account.

Saeed Ahmad, President and CEO, NBP said, “This partnership with JazzCash allows us to not only simplify work at our end, but also leads to time saving and convenience for the applicants”.

We are continuously striving to provide digital solutions to the financial needs of our customers, he added.

Our partnership with NBP goes from strength to strength, as we both share common goal of utilising technology to provide ease to our customers, Aniqa Afzal Sandhu, Chief Digital and MFS Officer Jazz said.

By making application fee payment process for emigration and overseas employment more convenient, we are looking to help millions of Pakistanis by saving them from unnecessary hassles, he added

As per official figures, more than one million people applied for their overseas employment and emigration in 2017. These candidates had to fill fee form and visit nearest NBP branch for payment, which was quite a hassle considering long queues at these branches with the process usually taking two days. By utilising JazzCash’s service, process time will now drastically reduce to a matter of mere minutes.
