Easypaisa shows up in Pakistan as part of how people buy bitcoin locally, even though none of the exchanges we track lists it as a direct funding rail. The country guides below explain what that looks like in practice.

What is Easypaisa?

Easypaisa is a mobile wallet and agent based banking service in Pakistan, operated by Easypaisa Bank Limited, the former Telenor Microfinance Bank, which holds the State Bank of Pakistan's first digital retail bank licence. The account is tied to a phone number and is topped up with cash at an agent shop or from a linked bank account, then used to pay bills, buy airtime and send money. Payments out to a bank account run over Raast, the State Bank of Pakistan's instant payment system, or over 1LINK's interbank funds transfer switch, so the wallet can reach almost any Pakistani account.

Speed: Transfers out to a bank account use 1LINK's 1IBFT service, which 1LINK describes as 24/7 real time, so the funds land within seconds.
Cost: Easypaisa publishes a periodic schedule of charges rather than one rate: loading the wallet, sending to a bank account and cashing out at an agent are each priced separately, so read the current table before funding.
Limits: Wallet limits are tiered by how far identity verification has been completed, so a basic account holds and moves less per month than a fully verified one.

Speed and cost describe the rail itself. What an exchange adds on top varies by platform and is shown per exchange below.
