Askari Bank Limited (AKBL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Weather Walay (Pvt) Ltd under the Bank’s flagship Cashless Ecosystem Project. In continuation of cashless financial services, this collaboration will introduce a new app feature for resident users of a leading housing society in Pakistan. This service will provide hyper-local weather intelligence, including real-time forecasts, early warning alerts, and data from Automated Weather Stations to help app users make informed decisions and adopt a climate-aware, tech-driven lifestyle.
Speaking on the occasion, Ali Naqvi, Chief Information Officer Askari Bank, said, ‘At Askari Bank, we are committed to building a smarter, more connected financial ecosystem. Our collaboration with WeatherWalay reflects our ambition to align banking with real-world needs – in this case, hyper-local weather data that empowers customers and communities alike. Whether it’s agriculture, outdoor planning, or climate resilience, this partnership helps embed actionable insights into our digital journey.’
Similarly, Junaid Yamin, Cofounder and CEO, WeatherWalay, remarked, ‘Our mission at WeatherWalay is to bridge the information gap when it comes to localised weather awareness. Partnering with Askari Bank allows us to scale our impact, reaching customers across Pakistan.’ This collaboration strengthens AKBL’s smart society vision, especially a resident-centric lifestyle, which will support digitally connected and smart communities. This initiative reflects Askari Bank’s commitment to building inclusive communities where intelligent living and digital financial services come together to enable a truly cashless ecosystem.
