Sohni Dharti Remittance Program

1LINK, along with Banks, the State Bank of Pakistan, and the Ministry of Finance, is proud to introduce a one-of-its-kind incentive program for Non-Resident Pakistanis and their beneficiaries. Sohni Dharti Remittance Program is designed to incentivize Non-Resident Pakistanis to use formal banking channels to remit their hard-earned money to beneficiaries in Pakistan.

1LINK has designed and launched an Android and iOS based Mobile App for users to register as a Remitter and earn points on their remittances sent to Pakistan through designated financial channels. Using the Mobile App, remitters can further enroll their beneficiaries and transfer loyalty points to them. The registered users would be eligible to earn reward points on all subsequent remittances as well as avail exciting privileges provided by government agencies exclusively for remittance senders and receivers.

The Remitter can register himself/ herself. The Beneficiary can only be registered after authorization by the Remitter.
