State Bank of Pakistan Shifts to VPN Access for Enhanced Security

On March 7, 2025, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) unveiled a major security upgrade, effective May 30, transforming its Regulatory Approval System (RAS) from web-based to virtual private network (VPN)- based access.

As Pakistan’s financial system dives deeper into digitization, the SBP VPN Access move aims to safeguard interactions between the central bank and regulated entities (REs), such as banks, financial institutions, and others, amid rising cyber risks.

The SBP’s Friday circular detailed the change, spotlighting RAS, a fully digitized platform launched to streamline REs’ requests and SBP’s regulatory rulings. “We’ve gone end-to-end digital,” the circular noted, covering everything from proposal submissions to decision dissemination.

Alongside RAS, a new Service Desk System rolls out an online portal to address RE complaints about SBP-hosted tools, including RAS glitches. The switch to SBP VPN Access locks down these systems, swapping open web entries for encrypted, private connections.

The SBP urged REs to snag Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) accounts immediately to smooth the transition. “Get compliant by May 30,” it advised, stressing uninterrupted access to RAS and the Service Desk. MFA adds an extra security layer, think passwords plus a unique code, ensuring only authorized users tap in. With over two months to prep, the SBP’s pushing for no hiccups as the SBP VPN Access deadline nears, promising a safer digital banking backbone.

The SBP VPN Access shift web to VPN by May 30 signals Pakistan’s finance fortification.
