CDC and Chase Securities Partner to Bring RAAST Instant Payments to Investors

Chase Securities has taken a significant step forward in enhancing investor convenience by integrating with the Central Depository Company’s (CDC) RAAST Aggregator Module, enabling real-time and secure fund transfers through Pakistan’s first instant payment system, RAAST.

Seamless Fund Transfers for Investors

Under this new system, every investor will be assigned a unique RAAST Investment ID in IBAN format, directly linked to their CDC sub-account. By simply saving this ID in their online banking portal, clients can transfer funds anytime, with instant credit via CDC’s secure payment infrastructure.

The integration was executed in partnership with Microlinks (Pvt.) Ltd., the technology partner, whose solutions ensure smooth connectivity for instant fund transfers from investor bank accounts to their segregated brokerage accounts.
