Pakistanis went jubilant over the weekend when they saw Pakistan’s name in the list of supported countries for PayPal.
Naturally, everyone ended up believing that PayPal is finally available in Pakistan as few users reported to have made their Pakistan originated PayPal accounts and successfully connected their UBL WIZ cards with their accounts.
But unfortunately, as many had believed, PayPal isn’t coming to Pakistan yet.
@OwaisShah211 Pakistan is not on our official list of countries available here: https://t.co/ali0IjkPet therefore, >

PayPal said that they are working on removing Pakistan’s name from the list.
For those who are wondering that why PayPal isn’t available in Pakistan or when it will be officially available in Pakistan, we don’t know much about it.
But one thing is sure, digital sphere of Pakistan is going to get reshaped after arrival of PayPal in the country. We have been waiting for over a decade now, but let’s remain hopeful.
Simply, Paypal had us in the supported countries list for years. The bug revealed Pakistan status in their list. Seems they are waiting for approval of USA and India.
Bongian na maaro yaar.
Why does an independent company need approval from USA and WTH india has to do with all this?
Independent? My foot.
Itni hi aag lahi hai USA aur India se, to apni technology aur company khud bana lo?
Kab tak doosroan se bheek mangtay raho gay aur bheek na milney pe unhay criticize karo gay?
Bhai, hm already bhot si companies use kr rahy hain like payza, western union, moneygram etc. Issue sirf itna hy ky jb payza hy Pakistan main ar operate bhi sahi kar raha hy to Paypal kyun nhi ata?
talking about conspiracy! as hammad said, if u are so capabale make your own! try to make yourself rise up to their level before criticisizing
Yup, I said because I made the project for a well reputed online website. I know these website much better than you.
He is just giving his opinion. Its just like if someone criticize govt. we will say go and make your own govt. If someone is critizing army we say make your own army. And how about critizing a terrorist group? What would you say then? Make your own?
There are other ways to convince someone but thats not a solution “make your own”. He is Ahmed, not Zardari or Malik Riaz who will make his own….
A very simple answer. Pakistan’s banking system sucks. That’s major reason
No dear, the issue is not that. Many other Paypal alternatives flawlessly working here, why the banking system doesn’t impact them but just Paypal?
Check market of other companies and their business levels. In other companies only Skrill (Moneybookers) has some worth and they also verify your personal information and impose limits according to your account level. As soon as they detect some unusual activity on account they simply ask you more details. Paypal works directly with banks since they allow us to send money from our credit / debit cards directly. While Skrill ask us to upload funds to account and then process payment. When we are paying directly then paypal transfer the money from their reserves and collect money from banks later.
Ha, so aren’t we using credit and debit card in Pakistan? We can do online transactions with supported merchant, isn’t it? Then what problem do Paypal has with our banking system?? We follow the international standards, which are also followed by Indians. Did we invented our own system of banking? No, certainly not!
Cards accepted here VISA, MasterCard without any hassle, isn’t it? Aren’t these standard cards issues by each bank?
Payoneer allows you to get a master card, can’t we use here in Pakistan to withdraw funds?
Why descrimination for Pakistan in Paypal? Just answer this.
totally agreed with you, we can use Visa/Master Cards to purchase online and there is no problem with any transaction, so what’s wrong with Paypal ?
Intent to discouragevPakistani talent. :-)
O India k wakeelo!
Wo Ahmed Habib hai. Malik Riaz nhi k apni company bana le. Naam dekh k suggestion kia kro.
Ye kia baat hui k jo b apna point of view de us ko apni company bnane ka challenge de dia???
@Hammad.. hahahahah.. i like your comment :D :D
by d way PAYPAL BAN hone k reason local bank’s k policies & regulations hai..
na ki kuch aur.. humare INDIA me PAYPAL 2013 me only 4months k liye ban hue the.. then phir paypal ko permission mil gaya INDIA me business start krne k liye.
INDIA me kuch bhi ban hona impossible hai :D :D
payoneer bhi yehi hua.. 2011 me ban hue the INDIA me..
but last year oct 2014 me hum INDIAN’S ne petition chalaye & RBI (Reserve Bank of India) ko feb 2015 ko payoneer ko again start krna he para INDIA me..
so pakistan me PAYPAL ban hone k reason sirf aur sirf
pakistani banks hai..
aur yeh sirf pakistan k liye nhi..
PAYPAL ko saare countries k local banks se permission lena parta hai.. us country me business start krne k liye..
he is right, i appreciate, it is actual reason
oh i see!
Mind it…these are service providing companies who fetch their profits by serving the people and by collecting pennies out of it. It someone asks to create one’s own company it is simply that solicitors of these servants are just asking the masters to do their work on their on…..how ridiculous!!!
Baaat banane ki nahi hai, Ham bana bhi lein to kya? Baaqi poori dunya to PayPal hi use karti haina :|
Independ to Google b nai..hehe
Check my article on Pakistan’s Inclusion In Paypal Countries is a Blip LINK: CYRACE.COM
Y india ?India mai khud paypal nae hy
You are just idiot.
@ahmed_habib:disqus Why don’t you die for a while? Have you ever satisfied?
xoom . com is a paypal service for sending remittances to Pakistan…guess it isn’t far.
Pakistan will never be added to the PayPal list because of the factor that Pakistani’s are involved in money laundering.
but do you remember Rafay Baloch who discovered a bug from paypal and got reward of 5000$. its about something else, not about money laundering…
Yup, we have the talent, guts to be better than any super power. This decrimination is only to discourage our progress. In paypal’s list many countries exist whose economy is 1% of Pakistani economy, why?
We surely have talent but we always try to use it in negative ways not in positive ways.
I disagree here, why? Because many developed countries like China, USA also having “bad” users but there also “good” users exist. Same the case here, Pakistan having mare 5% of bad users.
Achay bury log hr jaga hoty hay hain dear!
Its all over the world, each country and every nation have good and bad people.
yee cheez..
Brother which country is not involved in money laundering? #Pakistan have a little portion as compare to rest of the world. There is many other reasons for their absence from Pakistan. and one of the reason is our Government Policies.
Government struggling due to economy, why they will not like to see Paypal here? I think China having very strict rules for banking, why Paypal is there?
Is india really desrving country for Paypal, certainly not!
The problem is not banking strict rules, the laziness of our government plus they believe PayPal is an Israeli company so not much interested in doing business with them.
The Israel issue make sense!
If thats an issue, govt shoud ban each and every product that has a relation with Israel. There is a huge list on Israeli Cos, on internet, working in Pakistan.
Hmm okay. Your point is valid too :-)
There are a lot of Israeli companies+viber working in Pakistan. Why govt don’t have issues with them?
I think paypal is not giving the share to these corrupt leaders :)
I don’t think Paypal is an Israeli company. Paypal is actually an American brand, first formed by current Tesla & SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who is an American not Israeli. He might be a Jew I don’t know for sure. But prohibiting a company just because it was formed by a Jew doesn’t make sense. If that was the case PEPSI Co. should be the first company to be banned but I am drinking a Pepsi can right now so..
To get paypal in pakistan not hard now it is the game of mind :P
That’s why you are captain, please teach this to our Cricket team. :-p
lolx
Umeed to duniya qaim hai.. paypal kia cheez hai phir :D
U can make a paypal account in Pakistan, but your country, phone number and address wont be of Pakistan. I have a verified UAE account, which I created from Pakistan, without using any proxy. Even now, I mostly use it, and I have never used proxy.
I am going to report you. :-)
lol
I have active verified bank account in KSA but the problem is that, in the nationality tab, what should i write.
Paypal will never ever come to Pakistan..They know Pakistani’s will miss use this service
Huh? We are miss using internet? We are miss using technology? We are miss using payza? I think, its job of the companies to stop us from miss using not ours job to stop using the services.
Ahmed, I was reading your comments with a lot of patiance but now I have to stop you from messing up with the innocent idiots. Why you had to destroy Azeem’s innocense? Why you could not let him live in his delusional world? You sir, are a vilan!
Great! So that’s the biggest reason Paypal not in pakistan. People, when unable to answer just start this innocent something…
First of all, I had my views here which I shared, secondly, I am not the vilan, everyone who express his views is considered vilan? Third, who you are? Why the commentor did not disagree but you? 4th, this is online portal and not your home, anyone can post whatever he likes let the other party think not you dear. 5th when there is love there is pain.
Ap hasd kar rahy hain, mehnat nai kr rahy!
Ahmed Jigar you are great, instead of understanding sarcasm in my wording you went the wrong way, now I am feeling you are also one of those innocents referred above.
While the talk topic is my field, expect a lot of comments, reply comments– in those hard lines for sure… dear rehman.
hahaa made my day :D
O bhai we are using computers and internet as well, what percent of planet Earth we had destroyed by misusing them?
Anyone please share the facts with me why a pakistani company is not offering a payment processor service in pakistan.
Maybe lack of interest. :-)
Problem is with SBP not with companies.
Please shed some light on what, in your opinion, is the problem with SBP?
PayPal is not available in Pakistan due to State Bank of Pakistan policies and regulations.
Huh? Any policy you can point out??
Yar ap mar jao na please 2 min k liye :D Ch* Insaan
even dirt poor countries in africa have paypal! its not the market issue but the state bank of pakistan which is guarding someone’s interest! ask your state bank why it aint allowing paypal to enter the market
“PayPal said that they are working on removing Pakistan’s name from the list.”
Jitne mehnaat removing py karni hy, itni payment “ALLOW/ADD” py kr dain tu millions logoon ko faiyda ho & PayPal ka business bhi boost kary :P
Remove krna boht asaan ha dusri option mein khap boht hai.
Yes, but there is no need to “Work” for removing :) few clicks & buttons should be sufficient.
Saaab Chooootia
Well everyone is talking about “Paypal” in Pakistan and we have forgotten the ban over Youtube which was a major source of earning for a lot of people in Pakistan. We should first try to get it back in Pakistan and then every other thing which is supported all over the world but not in Pakistan.
good
I have already made my account there with Pakistani address. I was able to sign in and everything went smooth :P
Ministry of IT should be serious and do something about it..

WOW FINALLY PAYPAL IS AVAILABLE IN PAKISTAN. JUST REGISTERED A PAYPAL BUSINESS ACCOUNT on paypal without any problems.. wow wow wo!
I had issues with opening one due to this, but I had contacted Auction Essistance if there was alternatives to use PayPal and they suggested to open an account in a different country. Not sure if that would work or not.
aoa. than whay paypal is available for pakistan when u select business account? than if we make paypal business with pakistan selected than how can we verify our account when paypal asks us our documents? should we send them pakistani docu?
I actually was able to use a PayPal in the USA to handle my payments as Auction Essistance had created one for me. I just need to find a way to get the money out now.
I read some comments here that many bought a USA PayPal from Auction Essistance. Are you guy’s accounts still operating without issues? I was thinking of getting one, but I wanted to get some feedback before doing it.
Paypal is available in india because of Citi Bank that is US bank but here in Pakistan no US bank is available for operation. You can check on paypal website in your USA paypal the banks accepted by Paypal.
thank to banks to have FE monoply
Is it highly advise to get a PayPal account in the USA from Auction Essistance?
agly 5 saal mei bhe kahain koi chance nhi hy ain k PAKISTAN any ka
