The Director of the financial service of Gates Foundation also gave very positive comments on this grant and was very willing to provide the advance facility like EasyPaisa to the poor communities of Pakistan.
The basic concept behind this funding is that EasyPaisa understands the bad economic conditions of poor people in rural areas and wants to make its service available for those people as well. So that, in any kind of economic difficulty, they can get money from their loved ones without getting through from any kind of long procedure. People having no bank account can also avail the services of EasyPaisa.
