Best PayPal Alternate in Pakistan

First of all, I want to say I am disappointed with our financial authorities who didn't able to finalize their deals with PayPal. Even in beginning days of PTI government, Asad Umer talked about to do functional PayPal in Pakistan but now, we see nothing.

However, I am looking for an alternate. Which one would you suggest? I know Skrill and Payoneer but I am looking any other option.

They tried their best, but Paypal refused to operate in Pak (for now) because of the faulty banking system plus the money launderers, etc.

transferwise.com is good service - their exchange rate is also good , they can be used as wallet as well exchange gateway.

Unfortunately there's no alternative. Our banking system is shit and no billion dollars company would like to get troubles because of our country.

Its not due to corrupt (more or less every country have corruption) but limitation on our banking channels is due to Terror Financing which is 100 times worst than Corruption

Using payoneer for 1.5 years. It's the best as an alternative to PayPal. Transferwise works smoothly for first two transactions then acts weird.

Yeah! Payoneer is fine but companies that use PayPal don't offer Payoneer. That's annoying. Each time, we think now we would able to see actual improvements in economy but same elite becomes partner in crime with new governments.

Just using the name of terror financing. I think its our banking and financial policy failure.

You can't do much if the other party simply doesn't wants to partner up. Same is the case with PayPal. They don't want to operate here. Whatever the reasons.

I shift my funds from upwork to payoneer so I don't face that PayPal problem. The best thing I do when I have to send funds to PayPal is I use a exchanger with a reference. If your sums are not huge. Dovtge same.

True. Btw i don't really get why are people obsessed with PayPal. Because PayPal is not a money transfer service. It just lets you to pay at different merchants without handing out your card and bank info.

The most important thing Pakistan needs right now is a payment gateway of international standards. One that can handle subscriptions and accepts payment methods like American Express, Dinere Club, Visa, MC, JCB etc. Just like bluesnap or Stripe.
