The visiting delegation included representatives from TD Securities (UK), Multiply Sales (Spain), Gaia Impact Ventures (UK), Linklaters LLP (UK), Accenture Private Equity (USA), HSBC (UK), and Siemens Energy (Germany). Members met Federal IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja and toured Islamabad’s Safe City Project to assess the role of digital infrastructure, data, and security in fintech growth.

Zindigi Chief Officer Noman Azhar said the visit underscores Pakistan’s readiness to become a fintech hub where innovation and investment converge.
Pakistan’s fintech sector is rapidly expanding, supported by a digitizing population, strong mobile penetration, and an enabling regulatory environment. Through its Global Advisory Board, Zindigi aims to adopt global best practices in AI-driven financial inclusion, digital banking infrastructure, and sustainable fintech partnerships to strengthen the country’s digital economy.
