Buying Government Securities Online

The SBP iInvest platform is a groundbreaking initiative that allows individual Pakistani investors to directly purchase Treasury Bills and Pakistan Investment Bonds without going through a bank or broker. Launched by the State Bank of Pakistan, iInvest democratizes access to government securities — previously the exclusive domain of institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals working through banks.

Through iInvest, you can participate in T-Bill and PIB auctions with a minimum investment of PKR 100,000, submit non-competitive bids (accepting the weighted average auction rate), track your holdings, and receive maturity proceeds directly into your bank account. The platform is accessible via the SBP website and requires registration with your CNIC and bank account details. It represents a significant step forward in Pakistan's financial inclusion journey.

This chapter is coming soon. Check back for the complete guide with step-by-step registration walkthrough, how to place auction bids, understanding non-competitive vs competitive bids, and tips for managing your iInvest portfolio.
