International payment gateways PayPal and Stripe could soon be coming to Pakistan.
According to Caretaker Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication, Umar Saif, bringing PayPal and Stripe are his number one priority.
The minister emphasised on Pakistan being the second largest online workforce in the world. He spoke about the lack of payment gateways for Pakistani freelancers.
Umar Said added that it shouldn’t be hard to convince these two giants to start their operations in Pakistan.
“Enabling PayPal and Stripe payment gateways in Pakistan is a high priority for me,” he said.
He announced that he would be reaching out to them and argue Pakistan’s case for having access to their services.
