Send Money from PayPal to Easypaisa
Most of the international transactions through PayPal go to freelancers, YouTubers, and online businesses in Pakistan. However, since PayPal is not officially available in Pakistan, transferring money from PayPal to local wallets like Easypaisa has proved difficult for many individuals.
However, don’t get disturbed — there are legal and safe ways to transfer your PayPal funds to Easypaisa. This guide will cover step-by-step methods, trusted platforms, and precautions to avoid frauds when transferring your PayPal balance into an Easypaisa account.
Reasons Why PayPal Is Not in Pakistan
PayPal is internationally accessible by millions across the globe for sending and receiving money; unfortunately, PayPal has not introduced its services in Pakistan. Here are some reasons for that:
- Regulatory Concerns: Pakistan’s strict financial regulations mandate sharing specific data-sharing agreements along with anti-money laundering (AML) protocols that PayPal has not entirely accepted yet.
- Low Transaction Volume (For PayPal): Countries with more e-commerce or online payment activities are targeted by PayPal.
- Currency Conversion Problems: A mismatch in regulations between the US dollar and PKR complicates other aspects of doing business with PayPal.
- Absence of an Official Partnership: Easypaisa, JazzCash, or any other Pakistani wallets are yet to partner with PayPal’s remittance channels.
Therefore, Pakistani users cannot directly link their PayPal account with any local bank or wallet.
Legal & Safe Transfer Alternatives
Even though direct PayPal-to-Easypaisa transfers are not supported, you can still transfer money safely using legal alternatives. Below are several tried-and-tested ways.
1. Using an International Freelancer Platform (Legal & Easiest)
If you are earning from sites like Fiverr, Upwork, or PeoplePerHour, you don’t have to withdraw via PayPal. These sites allow direct withdrawals to your Easypaisa or local bank account.
Steps:
- Log in to your freelance account.
- Select Withdraw Earnings.
- Choose Direct Bank Transfer or Payoneer.
- In Payoneer, link your Easypaisa account (or the bank connected to Easypaisa).
- Withdraw the funds — they’ll reach your bank account within 24–48 hours.
Example: Fiverr → Payoneer → Local Bank → Easypaisa account
💡 Tip: Easypaisa accepts local bank transfers from UBL, HBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, and others.
2. Payoneer Bridge (Most Popular, Legal Way)
Payoneer is officially partnered with many global companies and freelancing platforms. It allows you to receive international payments legally and transfer that money to Pakistani bank accounts.
Steps to transfer PayPal to Easypaisa via Payoneer:
- Create a Payoneer account.
- Link your US virtual Payoneer account to PayPal (you’ll need a US PayPal for this).
- Withdraw funds from PayPal to Payoneer.
- Once funds arrive in Payoneer, withdraw them to your local bank.
- Transfer from that bank to your Easypaisa account using the app.
This method is 100% legal and widely used by freelancers in Pakistan.
3. Use Foreign Remittance Partners
Easypaisa International Remittance allows money transfers through global partners such as:
- MoneyGram
- RIA
- Transfast
- ACE Money Transfer
While these don’t directly connect to PayPal, you can use them if your sender withdraws PayPal funds into their bank account first and then sends money via one of these partners.
Example:
- The sender withdraws from PayPal to their bank.
- They use MoneyGram or RIA to send to your Easypaisa number.
- You receive the amount instantly through Easypaisa International Remittance.

This method is reliable, government-approved, and safe.
4. Using a Reliable PayPal Exchanger (With Caution)
Some PayPal exchangers in Pakistan convert PayPal funds into Easypaisa or JazzCash balance. But this is a high-risk method and should only be used with verified, trusted exchangers.
Precautions:
- Check their reviews and ratings.
- Never share your PayPal login credentials.
- Start with a small amount first.
- Ask for government registration proof.
⚠️ Warning: Many fake exchangers promise instant conversions but steal funds or accounts. Stick only to registered or known exchangers.
Using International Remittance Partners
Easypaisa works with several officially recognized partners globally. You can directly receive remittances into your Easypaisa wallet from these networks:
| Partner Name | Type | Transfer Time | Supports Pakistan |
|---|---|---|---|
| MoneyGram | Official Remittance | Instant | ✅ |
| Western Union | Cash Pickup / Bank Deposit | 1–2 Hours | ✅ |
| RIA | Digital Remittance | Instant | ✅ |
| ACE Money Transfer | Online Transfer | Instant | ✅ |
| Transfast | Online | Within 24 Hours | ✅ |
Steps to receive international money in Easypaisa:
- Ask the sender to use one of the above partners.
- Provide them your CNIC and Easypaisa number.
- Open the Easypaisa app → tap on Remittance.
- Enter the tracking number (e.g., MoneyGram code).
- The amount will appear instantly in your wallet.
This is legal, supported by the State Bank of Pakistan, and safe for freelancers, students, and family transfers.
Avoiding Scams
When trying to move funds from PayPal to Easypaisa, you’ll find many ads or Telegram groups offering “instant conversion.” Most of these are scams.
Stay safe by following these rules:
- 🚫 Never share your PayPal login credentials. Scammers can drain your account.
- 🚫 Don’t send money without proof. Always ask for video or transaction evidence.
- 🚫 Use only legal channels. Stick to Payoneer, MoneyGram, RIA, or official platforms.
- 🚫 Avoid black market conversions. Slightly better rates aren’t worth the legal risk.
