Most of the bank already aware account holders about the biometric verification through SMS. State bank of Pakistan has also given warning to the account owners to register themselves by June 30^th 2019, The first deadline for the owners.

As the news became viral it is also expected that the banks may face a lot pressure and hard work for this process as the customers will come in rush and it will be difficult for them to accommodate each and every person. The customer who made account after 2016 will also face the customers rush and it will also irritate them for their own important work.
