Chairman Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), Dr. Mohammad Yaseen inaugurated Pakistan’s first SMS-based Secure Mobile Payments Technology, at a launch event hosted by AKNMTECH, a Mobile Value Added Services Provider.

PTA ICT Directorate and AKNMTECH have ventured upon this enterprise to provide financial management empowerment to the consumers, thus providing them with the fiscal flexibility and confidence of conducting their banking transactions reliably through their mobile phones using simple medium of SMS. Furthermore this platform proposes a harmonious uniformity whereby banking and telecom institutions can integrate their respective services to it and further enrich the service quality for their consumers. It provides an engaging, efficient and secure platform for mobile and banking services providers to offer to their customers a true “Anywhere, Anytime” mobile banking experience.

Speaking at the occasion, Chairman PTA, Dr. Mohammed Yaseen said that PTA has always been very mindful of regulatory progress and technological initiatives that thrust the industry into new dimensions of commercial expansion. This platform will allow for integrated solutions to be developed to benefit the banking and telecom consumers of Pakistan and help evolve the very relationships these consumers have with their respective service providers. Eventually we hope this technology will help further cement the reputation Pakistan enjoys in the International community as an important telecom market.
