JazzCash vs EasyPaisa vs Bank Transfer: Best for Your Business?
2026-06-16 · 7 min read
Every Pakistani business eventually faces this question: which payment method should I push my customers towards? JazzCash, EasyPaisa, and bank transfer each have a place. Here's how they actually compare for a shop.
Transaction Fees Compared
JazzCash and EasyPaisa charge broadly similar merchant fees on received payments — a small percentage per transaction, with the exact rate depending on your account type and volume. Bank transfers via IBFT or RAAST are typically the cheapest, often free for the customer on small amounts. The fee difference on a single sale is small, but across hundreds of monthly transactions it adds up — worth checking your current rates.
Settlement Time
Both JazzCash and EasyPaisa settle to your wallet instantly, which is their biggest advantage — you see the money the moment the customer pays. Bank transfers via RAAST are also near-instant now, while older inter-bank transfers can take a little longer. For a shop that needs to confirm payment before handing over goods, instant confirmation matters more than a few rupees of fees.
What Customers Actually Prefer
This is the deciding factor. Many customers have only one wallet installed and a strong habit around it. If you only accept EasyPaisa and your customer lives in JazzCash, you've created friction — and friction loses sales. The pattern across Pakistani shops is clear: the more options you offer, the fewer abandoned payments you get.
The Smart Move: Use All of Them
You don't have to choose one. Offer JazzCash and EasyPaisa for everyday retail, bank transfer for larger or wholesale payments, and cash on delivery for first-time buyers who don't trust online payment yet. PaakiShop's online store supports all of these together, so each customer pays their way. For a step-by-step setup, see our guide on accepting JazzCash & EasyPaisa in your online store.
