Think of it like this:

👉 BISP needs to know which phone number is yours, so they can send your payments safely.

This guide will walk you through every single step, explain the problems people face, and show you how to fix them. By the end, you’ll know exactly what to do to get your BISP money directly on your phone.

What is the BISP Digital Wallet?

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is giving out money to help families in Pakistan. Before, people had to go stand in line, wait for hours, and collect cash at a camp.

Now, the government wants to make it easier and safer. So they started the digital wallet system.

That means:

• Your BISP money goes directly into your mobile account.
• You can use EasyPaisa, JazzCash, HBL Konnect, or partner wallets.
• You can withdraw money from any agent shop, bank, or even use it online for payments.
• For more information must visit State Bank of Pakistan – Digital Wallet Policy

👉 But for all this to work, your mobile number must be registered with BISP.

Why Do You Need to Register Your Mobile Number?

Here’s why mobile registration is important:

• BISP must confirm your CNIC + mobile number.
• Payments will only go to the mobile number that is registered.
• Without registration, you won’t get the money in your wallet.
• If the SIM is not in your name, you’ll need biometric verification.

• ✅ A working mobile SIM (preferably in your name).
• ✅ Some balance for SMS if you’re using 8171.
• ✅ Internet (if using the portal or wallet app).
• ✅ Installed app (EasyPaisa / JazzCash / HBL Konnect).
• ✅ Original CNIC (for KYC or agent visit).

Ways to Register Your Mobile Number for BISP

You can register your mobile number in 3 main ways:

Fastest way if your CNIC is already in the BISP database.

Register directly through your mobile wallet app.

Method 3: BISP Camp or Agent (biometric KYC)

If your SIM is not in your name or online registration fails.
