The company, with a customer base of 44 million, has made a concerted effort to prioritise gender-intentional financial inclusion. As a result, around 29 percent of JazzCash customers are now women.[4] Under the broad ambit of digital financial services, JazzCash goes beyond payments to include critical services like savings, nano-loans, and insurance.[5] JazzCash is also the first and only nano-lender in Pakistan to offer free life and health insurance to its nano-loan customers.[6] Another facility provided by Jazz Cash is the introduction of the Jazz Cash Merchant Account, which is a digital payment facility that does transactions.[7]
