A credit wallet for pensioners has been activated for all pensioners.
The Minister of Cooperation, Labor and Welfare announced on the sidelines of the administrative council meeting in the city of Gerami about the development of the credit wallet program for social security pensioners and said: This program was implemented last month for a group of pensioners in order to conduct an experiment and technical tests and after this stage all pensioners will be able to use it.
Ahmed Madiri continued: Pensioners can use this wallet for credit purchases from today, and the credit purchases will be arranged from the beginning of the month. Using this option also brings at least a five percent discount on purchases.
The Minister of Cooperation, Labor and Welfare explained the effects of this plan on the mechanism for paying pensioners' wages: before that, it was necessary to pay pensioners' wages within a few days, and in the meantime, due to a lack of resources, the National Insurance Institute had to accept concessions from the Workers' Welfare Bank to provide the required liquidity.
