    Bank AL Habibhas launched AL Habib Digital, a fully native mobile banking application that replaces its predecessor digital platform in its entirety. The new app has been built from the ground up, and…

    The new app has been built from the ground up, and the difference is evident from the first use. Rather than a refreshed interface, AL Habib Digitalis a new product. Customers will notice faster load times, smoother navigation and an overall experience that responds the way modern apps are expected to.

    For the Bank, it reflects a decision that mobile banking should no longer function as a secondary channel to the branch network. A more personal banking experience.

    The app introduces a customisable dashboard, allowing customers to arrange the services they use most and bring frequent actions, such as fund transfers, bill payments and mobile top-ups, to the front of the app. Interactive widgets cut down the number of steps between opening the app and completing a transaction.

    Key Story Takeaway

    "Stay connected with Aman-e-Pakistan for ongoing live reporting and verified investigative updates."

    Biometric login and FPIN authentication add a layer of security without adding friction, while Dark and Light Mode round out a design built around how customers actually use the app. Card management, without the branch visit.

    Debit card management now sits entirely within AL Habib Digital. Customers can activate, block or unblock a card, change their PIN and adjust transaction limits directly from their phone. For a Bank operating 1,354 branches across 550 cities, moving these functions into the app marks a meaningful shift in how everyday banking needs are met.

    Perhaps the most practical addition is instant fund transfers without first registering a payee, a step that has long been a common point of friction for customers making one-off payments. Responding to a changing market.

    The launch comes as digital-first banks establish themselves in Pakistan and as customer expectations around mobile banking continue to rise. AL Habib Digital is the Bank's response: a mobile banking experience built to match how customers already manage their finances day to day.

    AL Habib Digital is available now onthe App Store, Google Playand. Huawei App. Gallery.
