Where and How to Collect Your Payment:
Once you have confirmed your eligibility and payment readiness, you can collect your money through the following official channels:
- Designated Banks: Payments are being disbursed through specific banks. You will be informed of the bank name via SMS.
- ATM Withdrawal: In some cases, you may be able to withdraw your payment from ATMs. This will also be communicated to you.
- BISP Payment Centers: Specific payment centers or mobile vans have been set up for your convenience. The SMS notification will specify the location.
Important Note on Biometric Verification:
To ensure the security of your payment, all beneficiaries are required to undergo biometric verification (fingerprint scan) at the time of collection. This helps prevent fraud and ensures that only the rightful beneficiary receives the money.
Tips for Collecting Your Money Safely:
- Count Your Money: Always count the money carefully in front of the agent or bank teller before leaving the payment point.
- Take Your Receipt: Ensure you receive a payment receipt for your records.
- Secure Your PIN: If you have been issued a PIN for any ATM transaction, keep it secret and do not share it with anyone.
URGENT WARNING: Protect Yourself from Scams!
