Easypaisa Credit Cards – Telenor now offers MasterCards to all Easypaisa customers
Even after applying for several times many people do not get their credit cards issued. This is the reason the credit card penetration in Pakistan stands 0.01%. The worst condition is due to the long and hectic process.
Usually the banks demand a long list of requirements to be fulfilled to get the credit card. These basically include a salaried job, a sizable income, an office address and a verifiable home address.
Pakistan has other people like freelancers and the small businessmen and there are also people who live in areas in which TCS or bank verification does not work. Thus not everyone get an opportunity to get a credit card.
We might face a good change as Telenor’s Easypaisa is now introducing MasterCard credit cards.
Here is the process:
You just go to the Easypaisa Mobile App -> Click on Credit Cards -> Select your Validity Date, Spending Limit and that is it.
You will get a credit card in less than 10 seconds which you can use anywhere online, On AliExpress, Daraz or with Careem.
This virtual credit card can be used for any sort of transaction online or offline (where physical cards are not required for swiping) and payment will be made from your Easypaisa account.
