International cash transactions in Pakistan have always been a problem due to the lack of logistics and limited presence of commercials banks in rural areas.
Innovation in digital technologies and the production of user-friendly mobile platforms made it simple to receive payments across national borders without the need for financial intermediaries.
Easypaisa being a leader in the digital payments market has been one of the first to incorporate and offer the convenience associated with the use of these technologies to its customers.
