easypaisa launches International Home Transfer Service

Tameer Microfinance Bank and Telenor Pakistan made another addition to the bouquet of easypaisa services with the launch of ‘International Home Transfer’ in collaboration with Xpress Money, UK. This service adds on to the existing domestic remittance service Money Transfer by providing international home remittances receiving facility in Pakistan. The latest easypaisa service can be availed by anyone with a valid CNIC irrespective of any mobile operator or bank affiliation through all Sales and Service Centres and Franchises of Telenor Pakistan and all branches of Tameer Microfinance Bank according to an official press release released today.

Vice President Financial Services Telenor Pakistan, Roar Bjaerum, announced the launch of 'International Home Transfer' service and shared, “Lack of financial infrastructure in many areas of Pakistan makes the process of receiving international remittances sent by loved ones abroad cumbersome. easypaisa International Home Transfer is meant to facilitate bridging this gap. At the same time, this service is part of our vision to offer wider range of financial services to increase financial inclusion in Pakistan.”

Speaking at the launch of International Home Transfer, the Chief Executive Officer Tameer Microfinance Bank, Nadeem Hussain said, “The regular stream of new additions in the easypaisa portfolio displays regulators confidence in the reliability and performance of the solution. This new service offers all the benefits of any conventional remittance service. We are making quick progress towards offering new services providing additional benefits to the customers.

The senders of funds from abroad can transfer the money through the wide network of Xpress agents present in more than 80 countries including United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and United Kingdom. A transaction ID will be generated on sending the amount which, along with the CNIC, are required to claim the funds through all Telenor Pakistan Sale & Service Centers, Franchises and Tameer Microfinance Bank outlets. International remittances can play a valuable role in providing foreign exchange, but more importantly, also offer significant potential to support incomes of poor and vulnerable groups. Tameer Bank has been given a member status of Pakistan Remittances Initiative (PRI). PRI is a joint initiative of State Bank of Pakistan, Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Ministry of Finance aimed at increasing the inflow of remittances through legal channels. Keeping in mind the importance of international remittances to Pakistan’s economy, the International Home Transfer service is being offered without any charges.

Telenor Pakistan and Tameer Microfinance Bank's easypaisa International Home Transfer Service will extend its relationships to more transfer agents in addition to Xpress Money in the future.

Thank you Pakistani Cricketers!

I want to say special thanks to Pakistani Cricket Team for donating their win bonuses of 3rd Test match to flood victims in Pakistan. According to a CNN press release, Pakistan's cricket team have donated half their win bonuses to help the relief victims of a flood in their home nation.

Having beaten England by four wickets in the third Test at the Oval last week -- leaving Pakistan 2-1 behind in the series with one Test left to play -- the nation's top cricketers offered $54,400 in a bid to help their stricken countrymen.

The contribution to the flood relief effort, which was announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board, is the latest in a number of fund-raising efforts aimed at helping those who have been affected by the disaster in recent weeks.

"The PCB chairman has announced a winning bonus ... and all the players and officials have donated half of the bonus in flood-relief funds," the PCB said in a statement.

Protesting againt the worst killing ever happened

As you all know, two of our beloved brothers are brutally slaughtered in Sialkot by wild beasts in the Holy Month of Ramzan. Millions of Pakistanis watched the video and many still watching - Will you be one of them too? If not join us for a peaceful protest on Wednesday 25 Aug, at 5 pm in front of Islamabad Press Club to raise your voice against this injustice. Join our hands and make difference this time.

O Nation ! Pakistan is calling you today - will you help ?

Nobody is unaware of the situation in the state caused due to floods. According to different stats and figures, almost 20 millions have been directly effected by the flood in Pakistan and indirect victims are countless. But what we are doing for them ? yeah this is a big question mark - Many of us are silent, few looking, few others trying and some of them are working hard to pull over it.


I am sure many of you are willing to support or help the victims, but do not know the reliable and trust worthy medium to donate. I would request you to generously donate for your brothers and sisters . Because this time Pakistan need us !! Move forward and help your country mates !!
