In a game-changing development for Pakistan’s freelance community, SadaPay, a prominent local Fintech company, has unveiled an exciting feature for their SadaBiz freelancers. Now, freelancers in Pakistan can seamlessly receive payments through Apple Pay, a major stride in facilitating international transactions.
This groundbreaking announcement took center stage at the inaugural SadaSummit, hosted at COLABS, where key players in the IT sector, influential figures within the freelance community, and early SadaBiz users gathered. The event not only celebrated this significant advancement but also delved into discussions through panel talks and fireside chats, all aimed at bolstering Pakistan’s position as a hub for global freelancing.
Freelancers in Pakistan often grapple with numerous challenges, including limited awareness of opportunities, inadequate training resources, and restricted access to international markets and payments from overseas clients. Apple Pay’s integration is set to alleviate these hurdles, offering freelancers a streamlined path to connect with international clients.
Apple Pay boasts a staggering user base of 550 million, surpassing PayPal’s 450 million, and witnesses a fourfold increase in payments compared to PayPal, with its growth showing no signs of slowing down. With over two billion iPhones worldwide equipped with this technology, SadaPay has now made it more convenient for Pakistani freelancers to receive payments, utilizing a popular and trusted payment platform.
In addition to Apple Pay, SadaPay has also embraced Google Pay, which is gaining popularity globally. This move addresses a long-standing need, filling the gap left by foreign payment providers that have historically overlooked the Pakistani market. Pakistani independent contractors can now leverage Google Pay and Apple Pay on over 700 million devices worldwide, thanks to SadaPay.
This development promises to revolutionize the way Pakistani freelancers conduct business and interact with their global clientele, making cross-border transactions more accessible than ever before.
