Easypaisa ATM Cards || Easypaisa Launches ATM Cards || Easypaisa Announces Commercial Launch Of ATM Cards

Easypaisa has officially launched the ATM cards for its mobile account holders
the soft launch of Easypaisa ATM cards earlier this year, Easypaisa has now commercially launched the cards for its mobile account holders.
Easypaisa Mobile Account holders can get their ATM cards from Telenor Service Centres or from Tameer Bank branches.

Card Issuance charges are set at Rs. 200 per ATM card, while transaction charges are Rs. 25 per transaction.
With ATM cards, Easypaisa mobile account holders will no longer be required to visit Easypaisa outlets, instead they will be able to withdraw the cash through any 1-link ATM machines across Pakistan.

Omar Moeen Malik, Head of Strategy for Easypaisa, Telenor Pakistan was quoted as saying that Pakistan is now one of the very few countries in the world, where any person with a CNIC can open a free bank account on his Mobile Phone in under two minutes, pick up an ATM card and link it to his account easily.

Mobile financial service providers are seeing strong growth in their person-to-person transactions, which do not require permanent mobile accounts.

Number of mobile account holders in the country, on the other hands, is not very impressive. However, services such as ATM cards may give required incentive to masses to ultimately have mobile accounts. More services such as netbanking and mobile apps to manage mobile account can further boost the usage.

It maybe recalled that UBL Omni already offers ATM cards to its customers. Other mobile financial services are also planning to launch ATM cards and mobile apps for their customers to manage their mobile accounts.

 
According To The Nation Newspaper 
Easypaisa ATM cards are highly secure and also extremely convenient for Easypaisa Mobile Account customers who are no longer required to visit an Easypaisa shop to withdraw cash every time from their Mobile Accounts. Easypaisa ATM cards work on all ATMs in the country and can be used to withdraw cash from the Mobile Account directly, at a much lower cost.
Commenting on the commercial launch, Omar Moeen Malik, Head of Strategy for Easypaisa, Telenor Pakistan said, “Pakistan is now one of the very few countries in the world, where any person with a CNIC can open a free bank account on his Mobile Phone in under two minutes, pick up an ATM card and link it to his account easily. Easypaisa is proud to be part of this innovation and link the existing ATM network in Pakistan to Branchless Banking. Easypaisa will continue to provide a wide range of financial services through its operations in the country, to ensure customers access fast, affordable and convenient services wherever they are.”
Mobile Account customers can pick up their ATM cards from their nearest Telenor Service Center or Tameer Microfinance Bank branch. There is no paperwork required and customers can have the ATM card linked to their Mobile Account instantly by paying a one-time ATM issuance charge of Rs 200 only.
