Mobilink Bank has won two awards at the 23rd Annual Excellence Awards organised by CFA Society Pakistan, receiving recognition for its digital banking services and commitment to gender diversity.

The bank secured the Best Digital Banking Services of the Year 2025 award in the Telcos category for the fourth consecutive year. It also received the Gender Diversity Award FY 2026 in the Non-Banking Financial Institutions category.

The digital banking award recognises Mobilink Bank’s efforts to expand access to financial services through technology. Together with JazzCash, the bank serves a registered user base of more than 67 million through a nationwide network of over 2.3 million merchants and agents.

During the past year, Mobilink Bank launched its digital Islamic banking operations and continued to expand digital onboarding through its Dost app. These initiatives aim to improve access to formal financial services, particularly for small businesses and underserved communities.

The bank’s second award highlights its efforts to strengthen gender representation within the organisation and expand financial opportunities for women.

According to the bank, women now account for 44% of its senior leadership. Beyond its workforce, Mobilink Bank and JazzCash serve more than 23 million women users and over five million women borrowers. Their lending to women has exceeded Rs163 billion.

The bank has also provided financial literacy training to 31,000 women. Its WIN Incubator has graduated 28 women-led startups, supporting female entrepreneurs in developing their businesses.

Commenting on the awards, Aamir Ibrahim, Chairman of Mobilink Bank and CEO of JazzWorld, said the fourth consecutive digital banking recognition reflected customers’ trust and the organisation’s efforts to improve digital financial services.

He added that the gender diversity award highlighted the bank’s commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where employees have opportunities to lead and grow.

Haaris M. Chaudhary, President and CEO of Mobilink Bank, said the recognition reflected the bank’s focus on digital services, people development and diversity, equity and inclusion.

He added that the bank aims to build a more inclusive financial ecosystem, particularly for small businesses and women.

Mobilink Bank has also recently received the Community Engagement & Partnerships Award at the UN Women 2026 Asia-Pacific WEPs Awards. The recognition acknowledged its initiatives to support women’s economic participation through partnerships and community-led programmes.

The latest awards add to the bank’s recent recognition for digital financial services and efforts to expand women’s participation in Pakistan’s financial ecosystem.
