Garaj,
the cloud and cybersecurity solutions platform from JazzWorld has successfully
facilitated the launch of Raqami Islamic
Digital Bank, Pakistan’s first fully Islamic digital retail bank operating
entirely on domestic cloud infrastructure.
This achievement underscores Garaj's
ability to host critical financial systems while aligning with Raqami Islamic
Digital Bank’s mission to redefine digital banking in Pakistan.
Designed as a cloud-native
institution, Raqami Islamic Digital Bank has deployed its entire technology
stack—including core banking, digital channels, and fully operational
Production (PR) and Disaster Recovery (DR) environments—on Garaj’s
enterprise-grade cloud platform. By opting for a fully hosted model from the
start, Raqami has removed traditional infrastructure limitations and laid the
groundwork for scalable, performance-driven growth.

Pakistan, our foundation had to be secure, scalable, and future-ready from day
one. Partnering with Garaj allowed us to deploy our entire technology stack on
a trusted, local cloud platform. This positions us to drive innovation while
adhering to high standards of security, reliability, and regulatory
