Mobilink Bank recognized among ‘Top 10 Inclusive Companies’ at GDEIB Awards 2025

Pakistan’s leading digital microfinance bank, Mobilink Bank, has been named one of the ‘Top 10 Inclusive Companies of the Year’ at the prestigious Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB) Awards 2025. The Bank secured 14 out of 15 award categories, reflecting its commitment to global DEI best practices and its efforts to accelerate women’s social and economic progress in Pakistan.

This unprecedented success is driven by the bank’s transformative DEI initiatives, including the Women Inspirational Network (WIN), which promotes gender diversity and leadership development; Humqadam that builds an inclusive and accessible workforce for Persons with Disabilities; MobiCare, an Employee Assistance Program designed to support employees’ mental, physical, financial, and workplace well-being; and MobilinkHER, a returnship program for females coming after a career break. Additionally, Mobilink Bank’s Inheritance Calculator has been launched to promote financial equity and women’s empowerment by ensuring their rightful share in inheritance.

Complementing these efforts, the Bank’s equal opportunity and safe workplace policies guarantee fairness, respect, and growth opportunities for all employees. The bank has made significant strides in advancing diversity and inclusion, reducing its Gender Pay Gap from 11% in 2023 to 2% in 2024, increasing female hiring from 24% in 2023 to 26% in 2024, and enhancing overall diversity from 13.8% to 16% during the same period.

“These awards affirm our commitment to a society rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion,” said Haaris Mahmood Chaudhary, President & CEO, Mobilink Bank. “As a future-ready Bank, we strive to create an environment where everyone—within our organization and beyond—can thrive and achieve their ambitions in today’s digital world. From empowering employees to supporting customers and championing women across Pakistan, we are driving sustainable economic transformation.”

“At Mobilink Bank, inclusion isn’t a goal, but a commitment,” said Aleena Tanvir, Chief People Officer, Mobilink Bank. “From bridging the gender pay gap to empowering women leaders and persons with disabilities, we are driving real change—for our employees, customers, and women across Pakistan.”

Mobilink Bank’s commitment to DEI extends beyond its internal policies. As part of the Male Champions of Change (MCC) campaign, the Bank advocates for gender equality and inclusive leadership in the corporate sector. Additionally, the Bank has topped the State Bank of Pakistan’s Banking on Equality scorecard for two years in a row.
