Customers can use the feature to find information about the bank’s products and services without navigating through multiple sections of the application.

The bank said the technology forms part of its wider strategy to integrate digital innovation into everyday financial services.

The app also offers several other digital banking functions designed to simplify transactions.

Face ID replaces traditional OTP approval

Another major feature is Pay in a Blink, which uses Face ID-based transaction approval.

The service allows customers to approve eligible transactions without relying on traditional One-Time Passwords.

The application also provides Raast transfers, QR payments and debit card management.

Together, these features give customers access to several banking functions through a single mobile platform.

JS Bank highlights technology strategy

JS Bank President and CEO Basir Shamsie said the bank has focused on technological innovation throughout its digital transformation.

He pointed to the bank’s launch of WhatsApp Banking and the introduction of JSense as examples of its efforts to make financial services easier to access.

Shamsie said the latest recognition reinforces the bank’s commitment to innovation within Pakistan’s financial sector.

The award also reflects the growing importance of mobile applications as banks compete to deliver faster, simpler and more personalised digital services.
