Easypaisa announces major cross-border services

ISLAMABAD: Easypaisa users will now be able to make cross-border payments in more than 100 currencies and receive remittances from over 100 countries directly into their Easypaisa accounts.

Easypaisa Digital Bank hosted a dinner in honour of stakeholders at a local hotel on the occasion of the first anniversary of its digital banking operations.

Federal ministers, policymakers, regulators, business leaders and media representatives attended the event.

The ceremony was hosted by Board Chairman Irfan Wahab Khan, Ant International President Douglas Feagin, and Easypaisa Digital Bank President and CEO Jahanzaib Khan.

Addressing the ceremony, Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja congratulated Easypaisa on completing one year as a digital bank.

She said that, in line with the prime minister’s directions, the promotion of the digital economy is the government’s top priority and concrete, coordinated steps are being taken to achieve this goal.

Minister of State for Finance Bilal Azhar Kayani said that the inclusion of digital finance experts is essential for effective policymaking, and it is the need of the hour to present the real and practical benefits of a cashless economy before the public.

Easypaisa Digital Bank shared that during 2025 more than 3.8 billion transactions were carried out through the Easypaisa platform, with their total value exceeding Rs15 trillion.

Earlier, Easypaisa Digital Bank announced a robust financial performance for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, reporting a profit before tax of Rs5.65 billion. This marks a 45.6 percent increase compared to Rs3.88 billion recorded during the same period last year.

The growth was largely driven by a surge in customer deposits and stronger fee-based income from payment services. Net markup income rose by 8.46 percent, reflecting expansion in digital lending and low-cost deposits, while non-markup income saw an impressive 44.62 percent jump. The increase in non-markup revenue was supported by higher transaction volumes, online payments, commissions from collections and disbursements, and insurance product sales.
