Easypaisa today announced first of its kind collaboration with the International Remittance partner Xpress Money to launch Pakistan’s first international remittance doorstep delivery service for its customers.
With this facility, easypaisa users can collect international remittances (sent from foreign destinations) at their doorsteps, instead of visiting Easypaisa outlets to get the funds.
The Easypaisa International Home Transfer facility provides the safety and convenience to receive remittances sent up to PKR 50,000 from over 150 countries through Xpress Money, at more than 50,000 Easypaisa shops across 800 cities in Pakistan.
Now, customers living in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi can avail the Easypaisa International Remittance Doorstep Delivery service by calling the Easypaisa helpline by dialing 3737 or 111-345-100 and request to receive their remittance through a courier service after the provision of required documents.
The service is free for both the person sending the remittance from abroad and the receiver in Pakistan.
Expressing his views on new service, Nadeem Hussain, CEO Tameer Micro Finance Bank said,
“Home Remittances from overseas Pakistanis play an extraordinary role in the economic development of Pakistan. Our received remittance stood at $ 6 billion in Q3 of 2014 signifying a growing demand of financial services for local beneficiaries.
The Easypaisa International Home Transfer facility indicates our commitment to provide convenience and safety to both the remitter and beneficiary and contribute to Pakistan’s economy as a smart and innovative partner.”
Yahya Khan, Chief Financial Services Officer at Telenor Pakistan added,
“The Easypaisa International Home Remittance service is a convenient, reliable and secure service that will eliminate the inefficient mechanism of money transfers from abroad into the country.
Furthermore, this service facilitates the segment of society that is unable to collect remittances conveniently by leaving their house.
As the first International Remittance Doorstep Delivery service in Pakistan, at no extra cost, we are hopeful that customers will seek out the additional convenience provided by Easypaisa.”
Good…
Excellent step by EasyPaisa.With digital takeover, things are moving in right direction.
hamm great easy pesa
Whats is the fee to send 1000+ USD from Us to Pakustan? Why it supports only <=500 US??
Because Rs. 50,000 is the maximum limit of using this service
Home Delivery is an old way being used by easypaisa. I am seeing their pamphlets of this service for the last one year
50k is less
I wish if easypaisa could become a payment gateway like skrill,paypal. It would help lots of pakistani merchants
Just forget paypal until it’s finally arrived, always wishing for something which you can’t have (or in near future) will only make you sad and depressed. Try to make the things work with what you already have !
Can anybody please explain how a person living abroad will send the money? How does it work? Do the sender and receiver need to be Telenor customers?
they must have this info on their website :)
THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE SIMILAR STUFF WITH POSTAGE…AND BUYINBG STUFF FROM USA …THEY TAKE TOOO MUCH TAX
Al Ansari Exchange already offers this from GCC from last year on Easypaisa in PK. This news is coming very late on Propakistani.
