A mobile application will also be launched for availing the reward points or their transfer to other beneficiaries.

Using the application, overseas Pakistanis can monitor their Remittance points. This application will have many other facilities as well.

Through this application, individuals can avail services of NADRA, EOAB, PIA, OPF, Roshan Apni Car and Roshan Apna Ghar Scheme. 

Moreover, overseas Pakistanis from 175 countries have opened more than 248000 accounts in the Roshan Digital category.
