What Is Easypaisa?

Easypaisa was one of the earliest entrants into the Pakistani digital banking system. It started off as a simple money transfer service but has now expanded to include several financial services.

Easypaisa started off in 2009 by Telenor Pakistan along with Tameer bank, which was later renamed to Telenor Microfinance Bank after its acquisition by Telenor in 2017. The app was one of the pioneers of digital payment solutions in Pakistan.

It was initially launched solely as a money transfer service but was later expanded to include a variety of financial transactions, including:

• Utility bill payments
• Ticketing services
• Retail services
• Fee and Challans
• Cashbacks
• Microloans
• Online games
• Savings, among others

Easypaisa also provides digital payment services via QR code and is the only GSMA-certified mobile money service in the country. The selling point of the application in the Pakistani market is the branchless banking service that the brand provides.

This system allowed people from all the socioeconomic classes of Pakistan to carry out digital transactions without visiting a physical location.

The Easypaisa App

Easypaisa app provides a simple user interface that allows users to navigate through the app in either English or Urdu, depending on their preference.

When it was launched for the first time, I was one of the few people in my circle who wanted to try it out. Digital banking was still new in the country, and people had fears of privacy and theft regarding the unsafe banking system.

The app was generally straightforward, with simple money transfer services enabled. All you need to get started with the app is to create an account with your CNIC number and a phone number.

How Do I Withdraw Money From My Easypaisa Account?

There are several methods of withdrawing funds from your Easypaisa account.

You can use the Easypaisa debit card to withdraw funds from any ATM in the country.

You can also visit any Cashpoint or Easypaisa agent to withdraw funds from your account.

Another way is to transfer money into your conventional bank account and withdraw money from there.

What Are the Charges of Depositing Money in My Easypaisa Account?
