Online Payment Methods in Pakistan

There are plenty of payment methods Pakistanis can use to make payments within Pakistan and abroad. One of the most common and most used method is the payment through a Debit or Credit card. On the other hand, there are some other payment options available to make payments within Pakistan and abroad. In the absence of PayPal, the next best option is to use Payoneer payment method. Payoneer is a New York, United States based company. It not only provides us online payment solutions, but it also provides us a MasterCard plastic card that enables us to withdraw money from ATM machines.

World famous payment method PayPal does not work in Pakistan at the moment. Once PayPal was used to work in Pakistan, but due to some reasons, PayPal stopped its operations in Pakistan. We can also use Western Union, MoneyGram, Dollar East and companies like them to send or receive money, nationally or internationally, but take more time to transfer money through these channels. Bank wire transfer is also another option, but it takes more time. Following are websites of some famous online payment companies;
