KARACHI: Pakistan’s freelancer community, which is said to be the fourth largest in the world, has expressed disappointment over reports of PayPal not extending its services to the country.
PayPal operates a worldwide online payment system that supports online money transfers refused to introduce its services in the country. The company operates in 190 markets across the world.
There has been a repeated demand from freelancers and e-commerce players to bring PayPal to Pakistan. Former finance minister Asad Umar had also shown commitment to facilitating its arrival.
Around 200,000 self-employed workers face a host of payment issues
The effort has, however, been in vain.
