Easypaisa Latest News & Updates
Part of PakFinHub's Easypaisa coverage — dated, sourced updates on ownership, partnerships, and product launches.
- Sourced & Dated
- Not a Live Feed
Quick answer: the most recent Easypaisa development is its H1 2026 results (August 25, 2026), reporting profit before tax of PKR 8.26 billion. Shortly before that, a Shariah-compliant Umrah Savings Plan launched on August 20, and Easypaisa publicly denied a viral claim of a new 2% bank-to-wallet transfer fee on August 10 — worth knowing if you've seen that claim circulating. Further back, the still-unresolved June 2026 Telenor stake-sale exploration remains the largest ownership story in play.
Easypaisa's confirmed announcements — ownership developments, partnerships, product launches, and app updates — are logged below, each dated and sourced. This is manually maintained rather than an automated feed, so a fresh announcement can sit unlisted for a while; check the Last Verified date for how current it is, and treat Easypaisa's own official website and social channels as the live source in the meantime.
2026 Updates
Telenor Explores Sale of Its 55% Easypaisa Stake
Bloomberg reported that Telenor ASA is exploring the sale of its 55% controlling stake in Easypaisa Bank, working with Citigroup on the process; a deal was reported as potentially worth several hundred million dollars. Ant Group's 45% stake was not reported to be part of the sale. Coverage at the time noted this would follow Telenor's completed exit from Pakistan's telecom sector (the sale of Telenor Pakistan to PTCL Group) and cited unnamed sources describing the process as early-stage, with no final decision or buyer confirmed. Treat this as an ongoing, unresolved situation rather than a completed transaction — see our Bank Overview page for how this fits into Easypaisa's ownership structure.

Brief Service Disruption Affects Some Users
Easypaisa experienced an intermittent service disruption affecting some users' ability to access the app and complete transactions. The bank confirmed customer funds remained fully safe and secure throughout, and announced full restoration shortly after. This is included here for completeness of the 2026 timeline, not as an ongoing issue — see our Helpline & Complaints page if you're troubleshooting a current access problem.

FY2025 Results: Profit After Tax Surges to Rs. 17.04 Billion
Easypaisa Digital Bank's Board approved audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, reporting Profit After Tax of PKR 17.04 billion (up from PKR 3.41 billion in 2024) and EPS of PKR 28.47. The registered user base surpassed 59 million, with monthly active users reaching 20 million. Customer deposits reached PKR 127.7 billion, up 67.6% over 2024. The bank attributed the bulk of the PAT/EPS jump to a one-off recognition of PKR 10.79 billion in deferred tax from previously unabsorbed tax depreciation and losses, on top of underlying sustainable profitability — worth knowing before reading the headline PAT figure as pure operating growth.

Easypaisa Denies Viral Claim of a New 2% Bank-to-Wallet Transfer Fee
Easypaisa publicly rejected social media claims that it had introduced a 2% service charge on funds transferred from bank accounts into Easypaisa wallets, calling the reports false and misleading. The company confirmed transfers into an Easypaisa wallet remain free and said no new 2% fee has been introduced on incoming bank-to-wallet transfers. Coverage noted the confusion may stem from unrelated charges listed elsewhere in Easypaisa's published Schedule of Charges for certain other account-linking or funding methods, which are separate from ordinary incoming wallet transfers. If you see a claim like this circulating, verify it against Easypaisa's official channels rather than social media — see our Account Blocked & Fraud page for how to spot and report misinformation-driven scams.

PACRA Upgrades Easypaisa's Long-Term Rating to "AA-"
The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) upgraded Easypaisa Digital Bank's long-term entity rating to "AA-" while reaffirming its short-term rating at "A1," citing the bank's strengthened financial profile, sound asset quality, and robust capitalisation.

Easypaisa & 5th Pillar Family Takaful Launch Shariah-Compliant Umrah Savings Plan
Easypaisa partnered with 5th Pillar Family Takaful to launch the 5th Pillar Family Takaful Umrah Savings Plan, a Shariah-compliant savings and protection product letting customers save toward Umrah. An integrated partnership with 5th Pillar Travel (Private) Limited provides end-to-end travel facilitation on maturity, including visa processing, flights, accommodation, and ziarat arrangements. Easypaisa President & CEO Jahanzeb Khan framed the launch as part of the bank's growing Islamic finance and Takaful portfolio.

Easypaisa Digital Bank's Board approved financial statements for the half-year ended June 30, 2026, reporting profit before tax (PBT) of PKR 8.26 billion and profit after tax (PAT) of PKR 5.78 billion — a 2.27x increase in PBT over the same period last year. Total revenue rose 30.5% year-on-year, with net markup income up 32.46% on lending-portfolio and treasury-investment growth. Capital adequacy ratio stood at 23.75%, well above the regulatory minimum.
