Pay Max:
Askari Bank and China Mobile Pakistan (Zong) have jointly re-launched their
branchless banking program under the brand name of Pay Max.
Branchless banking has already taken root in Pakistan and is all poised to become
a formidable alternative to conventional banking.
A mobile phone can be used to enter, display, process, store, and transmit
information. The existence of a SIM card inside the mobile phone, a connected device,
provides a peculiar architecture to the banks that can be used as a payment device and
transactional channel.
This is because the SIM card is a smart card (a card with a chip) and the mobile
phone is a limited computer connected to the network.
