Can I open a NRI account from the USA?

Written by Admin | Last Updated: July 2026

Yes, Pakistani citizens residing in the USA (Non-Resident Pakistanis or NRPs) can open a bank account in Pakistan digitally. The State Bank of Pakistan has introduced the "Roshan Digital Account," a conventional bank account that is specifically designed to be opened and operated from abroad through designated commercial banks. This process has simplified requirements to make it easy for expatriates to maintain a connection to the Pakistani banking system. By choosing one of the designated banks, you can complete the application process online, submit the required documentation, and begin operating your account without needing to travel to Pakistan, which helps in managing remittances, investments, and personal savings.
