May 11, 2025As global financial platforms increasingly restrict access to Pakistani users due to geopolitical tensions, local tech experts are calling for the urgent development of alternative payment systems. Freelancers, digital creators, and startups have expressed frustration over the loss of business opportunities, especially due to disruptions in PayPal, Stripe, and similar services.
