Muhammad Aurangzeb, President & CEO - HBL said: “HBL is honoured to be associated with the Roshan Digital Account (RDA) initiative. Over the course of the last one and a half year, we have been an active partner and a leading enabler in the evolution of the RDA account as it moved from being investment-oriented to now an integral part of lifestyle banking for overseas Pakistani’s. Clients can now make investments, contribute to charities, purchase a car or a house using their RDA accounts. HBL is committed to support the vision of the State Bank of Pakistan, to reach out to overseas Pakistanis and offer them the best of the products and services, as we continue to invest in Pakistan’s economic growth.”
Shoaib Mumtaz, President & CEO of MCB Bank also said on the occasion, “The Pakistani diaspora has always been an invaluable asset for Pakistan and their contributions to our economy by way of remittances can never be over appreciated. It is due to their wholehearted participation in the RDA initiative, that more than US$ 3.7 billion has been remitted to Pakistan through Roshan Digital Accounts today. MCB Bank looks forward to working closely with Pakistani communities abroad to facilitate even greater access to innovative financial services and opportunities of investment in Pakistan.”
