The core objective of this research is twofold: first, to evaluate the significance of Financial Technology (FinTech), and second, to delineate the hurdles confronted by banks offering branchless banking services in Pakistan during the integration of FinTech. its particular focus lies on microfinancing institutions. The study's findings underscore the potential of FinTech to bolster financial inclusion and to address economic disparities among marginalized segments of society. To harness this potential effectively, it is imperative to promote financial literacy through a multifaceted approach encompassing workshops, online resources, media campaigns, and community leaders. This multifaceted strategy empowers individuals, enabling them to make well-informed financial decisions in the digital age.
