All About JazzCash for PKR

One of Pakistan's most popular mobile wallets, JazzCash is accepted all over the country. Created by Mobilink - a leading mobile operator - it's now one of the nation's most widely-used mobile wallet services. Today, we'll share more about what JazzCash does, how it works and how you can use it on BestChange exchangers.

JazzCash History

As we mentioned before, JazzCash was launched in 2012 by Mobilink, now Jazz. It's now a fully-fledged subsidiary following a merger of parent company VimpelCom (now VEON) with Warid Telecom. The goal of this platform is to provide a safe, secure and simple solution for financial transactions in Pakistan for individuals and businesses.

What kinds of JazzCash accounts are there?

JazzCash has two kinds of accounts: Business and Mobile. Most people will have a mobile account. It's designed for individuals and turns your smartphone into a powerful banking tool. Do all your payments, transfers and ticket orders from home with just your app. You don't need to carry a minimum balance or anything like that. Just make an account with your Pakistani CNIC to start depositing and withdrawing cash from over 85k JazzCash agents across Pakistan. And if you're a business entity, you can get a tailor-made account that lets you make supplier payments, sort salaries or do bulk disbursements with ease.

Using JazzCash to send money

For most people, sending money with JazzCash is their main reason for having an account. That's because it's a really popular way to receive and send cash fast in Pakistan. As long as the recipient has a valid CNIC, Pakistan bank account or JazzCash Mobile Account, they can get the money you send. Here's how it works:

  1. Log in or create an account on JazzCash.
  2. Select or add your recipient.
  3. Pop in the amount you want to send.
  4. Confirm it with your JazzCash PIN.

Other features of JazzCash

Since the app launched, JazzCash has added new features regularly. These include:

Loan repayments

For JazzCash account holders with loans from Development Action for Mobilization and Emancipation (DAMEN), MOJAZ, Rural Community Development Society (RCDS), Al Mehran Rural Development Organization (AMRDO), Orangi Pilot Project (OPP), WASIL, Narowal Rural Development Program (NRDP), SAFCO Support Foundation, OPD and more; loan collection can be completed in-app. Just select LOAN REPAYMENTS, enter your borrower ID, pick how much to pay and confirm to get an SMS on completion.

Bill payments

Paying your utility bill is fast and easy. In fact, JazzCash announced a new barcode scanning feature recently which quickly accesses your accounts on all UBP bills.
