Murtaza Ali: Leading JazzCash’s Digital Finance Revolution

At the Partners in Service – Fueling New Digital Growth panel, JazzCash President Murtaza Ali highlighted how digital finance is reshaping economic empowerment. He discussed JazzCash’s role in driving financial inclusion, a key theme at M360 Tashkent, hosted by GSMA and VEON to explore digital innovation across Eurasia. JazzCash has moved beyond basic wallets by integrating micro-loans, insurance, and investment opportunities, issuing over 140,000 loans daily and insuring 2 million lives in 2024.

Strategic collaborations, including enabling government payments and Google Wallet integration, are propelling Pakistan toward a cashless economy. VEON proudly supports JazzCash, alongside Simply and Beepul, in expanding financial inclusion. As of March 2025, VEON’s fintech platforms have processed a gross transaction value of USD 40.2 billion in Pakistan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan—helping democratize wealth creation and unlock new revenue streams for millions.
