In 2019 Easypaisa, to digitize the ecosystem of the country initiated several projects aimed at transforming the way digital financial services were traditionally offered to the users. By collaborating with numerous organizations such as CDC, Samsung, Zong, Careem, Uber, and Airlift among others, Easypaisa aims to develop a cashless society for a digitally inclusive Pakistan.
Easypaisa achieved yet another milestone through its industry-first digital loan disbursement by giving out 1 million loans to individuals and small businesses that lack financial resources for everyday activities. Easypaisa has also been a long-term partner of different poverty alleviation programs empowering customers to receive their monthly payments through the application.
Moreover, Easypaisa launched Pakistan’s first blockchain-backed remittance service in partnership with Valyou Malaysia. This initiative allows users to transfer money between the two countries in a seamless manner.
Easypaisa also initiated the first of its kind Enable Pay and Credit initiative, which allows a seamless and digitized payment value chain between retailers and distributors while providing the former with access to credit services too. Enable Pay and Credit is currently being used by companies like Pepsi, Unilever, Pakistan Tobacco Company, Nestle and M&P.
