Zindigi’s Paylink: A Game-Changer for Pakistan’s Freelancers

Zindigi, powered by JS Bank, has officially launched its new “Paylink” feature, providing freelancers in Pakistan with a secure and efficient solution for cross-border payments.

Pakistan is home to more than 1.5 million freelancers, contributing nearly $400 million in annual export revenue. Yet, for years, freelancers have faced the same hurdle: receiving international payments quickly, safely, and at low cost. Many have been forced to rely on unreliable or expensive channels, creating stress and delays in their work.

How Paylink Works

Zindigi’s Paylink is designed to solve this problem with simplicity and security.

• Freelancers can create a custom payment link directly in the Zindigi app.

• The link can be sent to clients anywhere in the world.

• Clients pay via Visa or Mastercard, and freelancers receive funds in Pakistani Rupees (PKR).

• The app also allows professional invoice generation, helping freelancers keep payments and invoices in one place.

This makes global payments transparent, safe, and professional — giving freelancers peace of mind while ensuring clients a smooth experience.

Why It Matters

The introduction of Paylink is more than just a banking feature — it’s a step forward for Pakistan’s freelance economy. Faster payments mean freelancers can work with more trust, attract bigger projects, and strengthen relationships with clients worldwide.

Faisal Khalid, Chief Product Officer at Zindigi, said:

“At Zindigi, user experience is at the core of everything we do. Paylink is our commitment to Pakistan’s freelance community, giving them a fast, secure, and seamless way to receive payments from anywhere in the world.”

With this launch, Zindigi reinforces its position as a leader in digital banking and financial inclusion.

Looking Ahead

While Paylink already fills a critical gap, it could become even more powerful in the future with:

• Support for PayPal, Stripe, and other global payment gateways.

• Lower transaction fees than traditional wire transfers.

• Multi-currency settlement, allowing freelancers to choose between PKR, USD, or other options.

• Integration with freelance platforms like Upwork and Fiverr for direct payouts.

If these improvements are rolled out, Zindigi could position itself as the number one financial platform for freelancers in Pakistan.

Conclusion

Zindigi’s Paylink is more than just a payment tool — it’s a vision for the future of freelancing in Pakistan. By addressing one of the biggest pain points in the industry, it allows freelancers to focus on their work, grow their businesses, and strengthen Pakistan’s position in the global digital economy.

For freelancers, it means speed, security, and professionalism. For Pakistan, it means greater foreign exchange inflows and stronger global credibility.

In a world where freelancing is only growing, Paylink could be the game-changer that redefines how Pakistani freelancers connect with the world.
