The Invisible Heirs campaign aims to tackle gender-based financial inequality in Pakistan. At its core is an inheritance calculator, integrated into Mobilink Bank's Dost mobile app, which allows women to easily calculate their rightful share of inheritance. The campaign also featured a powerful video narrative that highlighted the emotional and societal challenges women face in securing their inheritance, sparking a nationwide conversation and inspiring action.

Aamir Ibrahim, CEO Jazz, Chairman Mobilink Microfinance Bank and Group Executive Committee Member of VEON, remarked: This award is a testament to our unwavering commitment to driving meaningful societal change through innovation. The Invisible Heirs campaign not only shines a light on a deeply rooted issue but also provides a tangible solution that empowers women to take control of their financial futures. This recognition underscores VEON's mission to create transformative digital services that uplift communities and foster equality.

Haaris Mahmood Chaudhary, President & CEO of Mobilink Microfinance Bank, celebrated the GLOMO Award win for the Invisible Heirs campaign, calling it a bold step toward breaking barriers to women's financial independence.

As a future-ready institution, this recognition reinforces the bank's commitment to innovation, driving lasting impact, and raising awareness to empower women with the knowledge and confidence to secure their financial rights.

This victory marks another milestone in VEON's legacy of success at the GLOMO Awards.
