KARACHI, December 23, 2024: Meezan Bank, the leading Islamic bank in Pakistan, has teamed up with Arif Habib Limited (AHL), a premier investment banking institution, to launch a cutting-edge Instant Top-up Service for investors. This partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marks a significant leap towards streamlining financial transactions and improving the overall investor experience in Pakistan.
The Instant Top-up Service enables Meezan Bank customers to instantly top up their Arif Habib Limited investment accounts through the Bank’s Alternate Distribution Channels (ADC), including the Meezan Mobile App, Internet Banking, and ATMs. The service replaces the traditional manual transfer process, which previously required investors to deposit funds and provide proof of transaction, offering a more efficient and time-saving method for managing investments.
The signing ceremony was graced by Mr. Shahid Ali Habib, CEO of Arif Habib Limited, and Syed Amir Ali, Deputy CEO of Meezan Bank, with senior management from both organizations in attendance.
A Revolutionary Step Towards Digital Finance
By automating the top-up process, the new service removes manual barriers, allowing investors to manage their funds quickly and without hassle. This marks a key milestone in Meezan Bank’s ongoing strategy to digitize and simplify banking operations, solidifying its position as a leader in Shariah-compliant banking.
Syed Amir Ali, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Meezan Bank, expressed his excitement about the initiative:
“The Instant Top-up Service is a cornerstone of Meezan Bank’s efforts to revolutionize financial transactions in Pakistan. We are committed to offering faster, more efficient services that enhance the overall banking experience. This collaboration with Arif Habib Limited underscores our vision of transforming Pakistan’s banking sector through cutting-edge technology and innovation.”
A Commitment to Streamlining Investor Experience

“We are excited to collaborate with Meezan Bank to bring this innovative service to our clients. This partnership is part of our broader goal of integrating advanced digital solutions that simplify financial transactions for investors. By enabling instant, secure top-ups, we are enhancing the ease of managing investments and contributing to the digital evolution of Pakistan’s financial sector.”
Enhancing the Future of Finance
This partnership between Meezan Bank and Arif Habib Limited is more than just a technological advancement; it is a step forward in Pakistan’s journey toward a digital-first financial ecosystem. By embracing these digital solutions, both institutions aim to provide their customers with the tools necessary for easy, secure, and effective management of their financial portfolios.
