Easypaisa International Remittance: How to Receive Money

Written & reviewed by Dildar Hussain — 10+ years in Pakistani banking, BS Banking & Finance (NUML University)

Quick answer: Easypaisa's current official international remittance service works through Bank Alfalah's network of sending partners abroad. The sender arranges the transfer through one of those partners using your registered Easypaisa mobile number; you then receive a secret code to enter in the Easypaisa app, and the money is credited directly to your wallet. You don't even need an Easypaisa account to collect the cash — you can do that at an authorized agent with your CNIC.

How Does Easypaisa International Remittance Work Today?

Easypaisa's official International Remittance page describes the current mechanism as receiving funds from abroad through Bank Alfalah's sending partners, using a secret code entered into the Easypaisa app to claim the transfer. This reflects a February 2024 partnership between Easypaisa and Bank Alfalah specifically built around this over-the-counter-to-wallet model, letting customers who send remittances through Bank Alfalah's international sending partners have the funds land directly in an Easypaisa wallet, 24/7.

Confirmed from Easypaisa's official International Remittance page (easypaisa.com.pk/international-remittance) and Business Recorder's February 2024 coverage of the Bank Alfalah partnership announcement.

How Do You Receive a Remittance on Easypaisa?

1. The sender initiates the transfer abroad through one of Easypaisa's international sending partners, providing your registered Easypaisa mobile number.
2. You receive a secret code — typically shared by SMS or directly by the sender.
3. Open the Easypaisa app, go to International Remittance, and enter the code.
4. Funds are credited directly to your Easypaisa balance once verified.

Steps confirmed from Easypaisa's official International Remittance page.

Can You Collect a Remittance Without an Easypaisa Account?

If you don't have an Easypaisa account, you can still collect a remittance in cash by visiting an authorized Easypaisa shop or agent, bringing your original CNIC and the transaction details the sender provides. This has historically been a core part of Easypaisa's branchless-banking model, letting recipients without a wallet or bank account still access money sent from abroad.

Confirmed from third-party guidance describing the current agent-collection option; consistent with Easypaisa's long-standing branchless banking cash-collection model.

What Is the Recent WorldFirst Expansion?

In December 2025, at Easypaisa's first-anniversary event as a licensed digital bank, the bank announced a partnership with Ant International's WorldFirst platform. This is intended to let Easypaisa customers receive cross-border payments and remittances from more than 100 countries in over 100 currencies, extending Easypaisa's remittance reach beyond the traditional GCC, UK, and US corridors — including support for freelancers and exporters, not just family remittances.

This is a genuinely significant development, but it's also recent enough that PakFinHub hasn't independently confirmed which specific corridors are fully live as of this page's verification date. If you're relying on a specific country route, confirm current availability directly with Easypaisa before assuming it's active — a partnership announcement is not the same as every corridor being operational on day one.

Confirmed from Business Recorder's December 2025 coverage of Easypaisa's stakeholder dinner announcement. See our Latest News & Updates page for other recent Easypaisa developments.

A second report — Daily Ausaf's coverage of the same anniversary event, attended by Ant International's president alongside Easypaisa's board chairman and CEO — independently corroborates that this 100+ country/currency capability was formally announced as part of the bank's official one-year digital-banking milestone, not just informal remarks. That strengthens confidence this is a genuine initiative, though which individual country corridors are fully live remains something to verify directly for your specific sending country.

If You're Sending TO Easypaisa From Abroad

This page mostly covers receiving a remittance, but a large share of searches for this topic come from senders abroad trying to get money to family in Pakistan. Several established remittance services route directly to an Easypaisa wallet as a delivery option, separate from the Bank Alfalah secret-code method:

If you're sending from abroad, select "Easypaisa" as the delivery method in whichever service you use and provide the recipient's registered Easypaisa mobile number — no Easypaisa account is needed on the sender's side. Fees and exact delivery speed vary by sending country and payment method, so compare the specific corridor (e.g., "USA to Pakistan") directly on the service's own site before committing.

Services and approximate speeds referenced from each provider's own published information (ShareMoney, ACE Money Transfer, Western Union's Easypaisa partner pages). PakFinHub is not affiliated with and does not endorse any specific remittance service — compare current fees and exchange rates directly before sending.

What Older Partner Names Might You Still See Referenced?

Easypaisa's remittance partner network has changed over time. Older coverage (2020 and earlier) names partners such as Xpress Money, Valyou, Small World, Hello Paisa, Rocket Remit, MoneyGram, Placid, and Al-Fardan Exchange. Some of these names may still be valid depending on the sender's location and current agreements, but PakFinHub is not treating that older list as current — the officially confirmed mechanism today is the Bank Alfalah partnership described above, now being expanded through WorldFirst. If a specific partner or corridor matters to you, verify it directly with Easypaisa rather than relying on either the old list or this summary.

Older partner names are historical references from 2020-era press coverage, flagged here as potentially outdated rather than presented as current fact, per PakFinHub's freshness policy.
