Consolidated Customer Onboarding Framework

The State Bank of Pakistan’s Banking Policy and Regulations Department has amended its Consolidated Customer Onboarding Framework to expand Roshan Digital Account eligibility to all non-resident natural and juridical persons, including foreign-incorporated entities. The update broadens the statutory definition of non-residents under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, while preserving the existing account opening process and seamless customer experience for non-resident Pakistanis. These revised instructions take effect immediately, mandating all regulated entities to implement the updated framework without delay.
