Samba Internet Banking

Written & reviewed by Dildar Hussain — 10+ years in Pakistani banking, BS Banking & Finance (NUML University)

Samba Internet Banking refers to Samba Online, the bank's web-based platform, accessible through the Personal Login option on samba.com.pk. It sits alongside two other official digital channels — the SambaSmart mobile app and 24/7 Samba Phone — and together the three cover most transactions without a branch visit.

DARP — Digital Account for Resident Pakistanis

Alongside Samba Online, the bank also runs DARP (Digital Account for Resident Pakistanis), which lets eligible customers open an account digitally with no initial branch visit required. Overseas Pakistanis get a parallel option through the Roshan Digital Account platform, which also underpins products like Roshan Apni Car and investment access to Naya Pakistan Certificates — see the IBAN & SWIFT page for the account numbers you'll need to receive funds.

Staying Safe on Samba Internet Banking

Access Samba Online only through www.samba.com.pk, and never share your login credentials, OTP, or card PIN with anyone — including a caller claiming to be from the bank. See the Samba Bank Helpline page to report suspected fraud.

What's Coming: Biometric Banking and Digital Mutual Funds

Samba Bank's FY2025 Annual Report describes two digital initiatives in progress rather than fully rolled out yet. One-touch Biometric Banking would let branch customers complete counter transactions with just a biometric scan, no signed cheque required. Separately, the bank says it is finalizing an alliance with a leading Asset Management Company to offer digital cross-sell of mutual funds through its existing digital channels. Neither was confirmed as fully live across the network as of the FY2025 report (published February 2026) — check with Samba Bank or the SambaSmart app for current availability.

Remittances & Overseas Banking

For overseas Pakistanis, Samba Bank's Roshan Digital Account (RDA) — available as a Non-Resident Rupee Value Account (NRVA) or Foreign Currency Value Account (FCVA) — is the main channel for sending money home. Outward remittances from Pakistan are free (SWIFT/correspondent bank charges are recovered at actual). Inward remittances into an NRVA carry a SAR 20 charge only if the transfer arrives under a "Free Send Model" through an intermediary bank; under a "Commission Based Model," Samba Bank charges nothing itself, though the intermediary bank's own charges may still apply. Samba Bank also runs a dedicated Sohni Dharti Remittance Account and Hajj & Umrah Remittance Accounts, both with no minimum balance requirement.

Confirmed from Samba Bank's official Schedule of Charges, July–December 2026 (International Remittances and Roshan Digital Account sections).

Samba Bank and Raast

Raast is the State Bank of Pakistan's instant bank-to-bank payment rail, and Samba Bank participates in it. Per Samba Bank's Schedule of Charges, beneficiary registration on Raast is free, and funds transfers through Raast are free — with no charge distinguishing it from IBFT on this point. Raast transfers are typically instant, 24/7, using just the recipient's registered mobile number rather than full account/IBAN details.
