Roshan Digital account details and the procedure of account opening will be discussed here. Also we will explain the interest rate you will get with Roshan Digital Account and the account types. In short you are going to get answers to all the questions related to RDA and I am sure after reading this post you will not have to look into the web anymore.

What is Roshan digital account Pakistan

Roshan Digital Account which is also called RDA is a bank account service by the Government of Pakistan for the overseas Pakistanis. With this service now non residential Pakistanis can open account with any bank in Pakistan. For account opening you don’t need to visit any bank, all you have to do is open the online account opening form given online on the website of the bank and fill it with required information and you are done. Bank will open your account within 2 working days and then you are good to go with it. You can have a lot of benefits with it. Also you can use it as a normal Pakistani bank account sitting abroad and perform many actions like making investments, paying bills, sending money to other accounts and even buying top ups.

Roshan digital account details

Here we will provide you with all the details and the requirements you wanted to know before opening a roshan digital account. First of all I just want to tell you that there is not much difference between the normal accounts which residential Pakistanis open in Pakistan. I am giving you the example of a normal bank account because most of the people already have some information about them so it will make easy for them to understand the Roshan Digital Account. If I say in simple words, now overseas Pakistanis can have the same bank account while staying out of the country which residential Pakistanis use while staying in Pakistan. You can open this account online by following a very easy method and can use it online staying in any country and can perform all the transactions. 

Types of Account

With roshan digital account you can open both current and saving accounts. The process of opening a savings and current account is the same but there is a basic difference between these two types which I hope everybody already knows. For those who don’t know, I can try to explain in simple words. 

Current accounts are the normal account that we open with a bank for daily use. We can deposit in it and can withdraw from it any amount any time we want. There is no profit and loss in this type of account. 

On the other hand there is a Saving account. It is clear from the name that it is for savings. In this type of account we can deposit money any time but there are some conditions on withdrawing from it. For example if you saved your money for six months, bank will give you profit on it but you cannot withdraw your money before six months. The time period varies with different saving plans.

So coming back to our main topic, with roshan digital account you can open any type of it, saving and current. 

Here I also want to make it clear that you can take profit from roshan digital accounts even by opening a current account by investments in Naya Pakistan Certificates.

Also you can open a Roshan Digital account in any currency from USD and PKR. So it’s up to you which currency account you want. But if you want to use your accounts to make payments in Pakistan or pay bills etc then I must say that it will be good to open an account in PKR because it will save you from the headache of conversion rate every time.

Naya Pakistan Certificates | Roshan digital account certificate

Naya Pakistan certificates or Roshann Digital Account certificate is an investing scheme by the Govt of Pakistan for overseas Pakistanis. Via this scheme now non residential Pak people can invest in Pakistani banks and take profits. It gives very high returns on investments. The Govt of Pakistan is urging overseas to use this service because it is a win-win situation for both as when some one will invest in it the Govt will receive Dollar as remittances and it will help to boost the reserve of the country and in return the Govt is giving very high returns on the investments. 

The process to invest in it is very easy and you can do it online with some clicks. So when you open a Roshan digital account, no matter if it is saving or current account, you can invest your money from RDA into this certificate.

6 months	10 %	6 %
1 year	10.50 %	6.50 %
