Easypaisa, a digital financial services platform in Pakistan, has begun charging users for failed biometric verification attempts.

According to a report by ProPakistani, Easypaisa introduced the new fee structure in response to the mandatory biometric verification requirement imposed by NADRA, the government agency that provides identification, e-governance and secure documents tools in Pakistan. The regulation aims to enhance security and combat fraud by ensuring that all financial transactions are linked to verified biometric data.
