Hamara banking system kharb ha mobile banking ko sir main marna ha?
Phala banking system ko theak karin phr is traha k advantages dain…
Mobile banking sa zeyada Paypal ka pakistan main ana zarori ha per wo hamara banking system ke waja pakistan main nai ata! agr asa ho jae to shaid IT professional he is country ko atni income generate karin ka sambhalana muskil ho jae.
Per asa kara ga kon? Raja P@@@@ Ashraf! to ho choka is mulk ka kuch
Paypal is even available in countries like Eithopia. So, obviously its some racist BS stopping them from entering Pakistani market. What fucking banking system they want? Everything is already there, Skrill (Moneybookers) works just fine and offers Bank Wire for just $2. And Paypal is a private entity so you can’t really force them. I have stopped caring for Paypal ever since I got my Payoneer.com card, paying for hosting & domains, client payments, atm withdrawals.. It works great.
I’m sure ABL is going to come up with something very innovative. Good Job!
I dont think this idea will grow up..
