Message from our Chairman
The foundation of PayFast lies in our zeal to digitize Pakistan and make cashless payments mainstream. Though our journey has just started, we have achieved a number of key milestones that have propelled us to becoming a leading figure in the Financial Technology (Fintech) sector of the country.
PayFast is a multifaceted solution designed with one critical aspect in mind – playing an integral role in the enablement of an online presence for Pakistani businesses in a country that is becoming increasingly digitized. Our services cater to a vast range of audiences, from individual freelancers working from their homes to SMEs, and corporations that process large volumes of transactions daily. It is our aim to facilitate the payments of all these entities under the PayFast umbrella.
Our business growth can be attributed to a culture of excellence in service, integrity, transparency, and professionalism. We are constantly striving to help our clients achieve their financial goals in a manner that befits the modern era through the utmost standards of service delivery, corporate governance, vigilant adherence to the regulatory requirements of the State Bank of Pakistan, and strict risk management guidelines. Subsequently, the company has numerous systems in place in order to help ensure that business practices and operations are consistently effective and responsive.
In the uncertain times of covid-19, where transitioning into the digital realm and establishing an online presence is key for business continuity, PayFast provides an edge in terms of converting leads into customers. As a Fintech startup, we are constantly striving towards innovative products that aim to not only disrupt the payments landscape of Pakistan, but help position the country as an emerging technological hub.
