BARCELONA / ISLAMABAD, MAR 5 (DNA) – KTrade, Pakistan’s most popular and best-rated investment platform, has joined forces with JazzCash, the country’s leading digital financial service, to democratize stock trading and investment for millions of Pakistanis. This landmark partnership was announced at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) with a formal signing by Ali Farid Khwaja, Chairman of KTrade, and Murtaza Ali, President of JazzCash, in the presence of Aamir Ibrahim, CEO of Jazz and Chairman of Mobilink Microfinance Bank.
This collaboration is set to redefine stock market accessibility in Pakistan by integrating KTrade’s seamless trading experience within the JazzCash app. With over 13 million active JazzCash users, this partnership removes key barriers to entry, allowing individuals to open stock trading accounts, deposit funds, trade stocks, and manage investment portfolios—all without a separate brokerage account.
Currently, less than 0.15% of Pakistan’s 240 million people actively invest in stocks, highlighting a significant opportunity to expand financial inclusion. With growing digital adoption and progressive regulatory support from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), this initiative is a game-changer in unlocking retail investment opportunities.
Ali Farid Khwaja, Chairman of KTrade, commented: “At KTrade, our mission is to make investing simple, accessible, and rewarding for everyone. Partnering with JazzCash enables us to bring stock trading to millions of Pakistanis, many of whom have never had access to retail investing before. This collaboration is a major step toward financial empowerment, allowing individuals to grow their wealth effortlessly through a secure trading experience.”
By integrating KTrade into Pakistan’s most widely used digital wallet, this partnership will bridge the financial literacy gap, encourage responsible investing, and support Pakistan’s vision of expanding retail participation in capital markets.
