The Sullis Hajj Card: A Cashless Journey for Pakistani Pilgrims

Pakistani pilgrims embarking on the sacred Hajj pilgrimage this year have a reason to rejoice. MyTM, a Pakistani startup specializing in digital payments, has joined forces with Zindigi (a digital bank), JS Bank, and MasterCard to introduce the Sullis Hajj Card for Pakistani Pilgrims. This groundbreaking collaboration aims to revolutionize the Hajj experience by offering a convenient and secure cashless payment solution.

The Sullis Hajj Card: A Cashless Journey for Pakistani Pilgrims

What is the Sullis Hajj Card?

Traditionally, the Hajj pilgrimage involves numerous financial transactions, from visa fees to accommodation and transportation costs. Managing cash in a foreign country can be stressful and inconvenient. The Sullis Hajj Card eliminates these hassles by allowing pilgrims to manage their expenses internationally without carrying physical cash.

How Does it Work?

The Sullis Hajj Card functions like a prepaid debit card. Pilgrims can load Pakistani Rupees onto the card before their departure. Once in Saudi Arabia, the card can be used for various transactions, including:

• Paying visa fees
• Booking and paying for accommodation
• Covering transportation costs
• Purchasing essentials during the pilgrimage

Benefits for Pilgrims

The Sullis Hajj Card offers several advantages to pilgrims:

• Convenience: No need to exchange currency or carry large sums of cash, simplifying the financial aspects of the journey.
• Security: Reduces the risk of losing cash or becoming a target for theft.
• Transparency: Transactions are tracked electronically, allowing pilgrims to monitor their spending.
• Favourable Exchange Rates: The collaboration between MyTM, Zindigi, JS Bank, and MasterCard ensures pilgrims receive competitive exchange rates on their transactions.
• Reduced Charges: The card eliminates most international transaction fees typically associated with traditional cards.
• Widespread Acceptance: The card is widely accessible across Saudi Arabia and many other countries, ensuring pilgrims can use it for various expenses.

A First for Pakistan

This initiative marks a significant milestone for Pakistan. It’s the first time Pakistani pilgrims are getting a cashless Hajj experience. While the initial rollout focuses on Hajj, MyTM plans to expand this service to cater to the Umrah pilgrimage as well.

Hajj 2024 Dates

The Hajj pilgrimage for 2024 is scheduled to take place from June 14th to June 19th. With the Sullis Hajj Card, Pakistani pilgrims can focus on the spiritual significance of their journey with greater peace of mind.
