The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has approved a new digital financing product aimed at improving access to capital for women entrepreneurs and promoting greater financial inclusion.
Named “Khud Mukhtar Khatoon,” the product will be introduced by Walee Financial Services and will provide asset financing ranging from Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 1.5 million.
The financing will be available for the purchase of machinery, equipment, and other business-related assets.
The financing facility is fully digital and Shariah-compliant. Women entrepreneurs will be able to apply through the “Hakeem” mobile application and repay the financing amount in equal monthly installments over a one-year period.
The SECP said enhancing women’s financial inclusion and supporting entrepreneurial independence remain key priorities for the regulator.
According to the regulator, lending non-banking financial companies disbursed Rs. 111 billion in financing between July and December 2025, benefiting nearly 7.5 million micro and small businesses during the six-month period.
