As more Pakistani technology firms, digital agencies, e-commerce sellers and SaaS exporters expand globally, reliable cross-border payment infrastructure is becoming essential for managing currencies, controlling costs and funding growth.
Through its global financial infrastructure, Payoneer enables eligible Pakistani businesses to receive payments in major currencies, issue payment requests, manage funds and pay international suppliers and contractors. Its integrations with local banks and financial institutions further connect global earnings with Pakistan’s banking ecosystem through real-time local withdrawals.
“Pakistan’s businesses have the capabilities, ambition and talent to compete globally. However, international growth also requires financial infrastructure that can move at the speed of their business,” Nagesh Devata, SVP and Head of APAC at Payoneer. “By simplifying how SMBs receive, manage and use international payments, we are helping transform global sales into predictable working capital and long-term business growth.”
Stronger payment infrastructure can also support Pakistan’s wider economy by encouraging formal export receipts, strengthening SME cash flows and enabling more businesses to participate confidently in global trade.
