What is State Bank of Pakistan?

Supervision in Pakistan rests with the State Bank of Pakistan, which keeps the register of banks and payment service providers. MCB Bank points at its own entry on its compliance page: BCD (1) 17-66 dated 8th December 1966. The reference is written out as a record rather than a short code, so a reader can hold it against the bank's paperwork. HBL, Mashreq Bank Pakistan, JazzCash and Halan Microfinance Bank sit in the same set, and the same reading applies to each. What the entry settles is whether a firm is supervised. Account fees, the rate paid on a balance and the time a payout waits come from the pricing page instead.
