Another Mileston in Branchless Banking -Traffic challan can be paid at Easypaisa shops in KPK

Through its financial services, Telenor’s Easypaisa has introduced a new way of collecting Traffic Challans for assisting the Traffic Police department in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK).
Easypaisa has partnered with A2Z e-payments which is an e-payment service provider and now upon the violation of traffic rules, offenders residing in KPK can easily deposit their challan fine at selected Easypaisa shops in the province.
Offender can now visit the nearest designated Easypaisa shop in order to pay the traffic challan, instead of NBP or Police booth along with the issued Traffic Challan.
The Easypaisa merchant will collect the fine and process the transaction on an installed POS machine, which will generate a receipt for the merchant as well as the offender followed by SMS receipts on their mobile phones.
However, the last step of collecting the documents will remain the same i.e. by submitting a physical receipt of the challan payment transaction at the Traffic Police Center.
Telenor Pakistan started this service two weeks ago and the exercise is in its initial phase. According to company’s spokesperson,

“Telenor is more than happy to work with other provinces as well, however, the request for interest has to come from their respective Traffic Police Departments”.

By providing these services to the residents of KPK, Easypaisa has become the first and the only branchless banking network to help Traffic Police department in challan collection.
Another interesting development in KPK lately has been the introduction of a new mobile application, by KPK police which will notify the police of any potential emergency situation in just one click.
