Karachi: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has launched a new web portal called ‘InvestPak’ to digitise the process of investing in government securities for both individual and corporate customers holding Pak rupee accounts with financial institutions.
According to an SBP circular issued on Wednesday, the portal will enable users to open Investor Portfolio of Securities (IPS) accounts, participate in primary auctions of government securities, and trade in the secondary market — all through a digital platform without visiting banks.
The InvestPak portal will be available to users starting November 6 (Thursday). It has been designed to facilitate seamless participation in government securities auctions and secondary market transactions, allowing financial institutions to integrate their treasury functions across front, middle, and back offices.
All individuals, joint account holders, and corporate entities with PKR bank accounts can register on the portal using their IBAN. The system also allows users to manage multiple PKR/IPS accounts across different banks through a single InvestPak profile.
SBP stated that financial institutions must enable registered customers to participate in primary auctions and provide firm buy or sell quotes for government securities in the secondary market through the portal.
The launch of InvestPak marks a major step toward digital financial inclusion, aiming to make investments in government bonds more accessible, transparent, and efficient for the public.
