Feature Request: Direct PKR-to-USD Balance Conversion
F

I would like to request a feature that allows users to directly load Pakistani Rupees (PKR) into their Elevate Pay account and convert them into a USD balance at a competitive, transparent rate within the app.
How this would help:
This feature would solve a major pain point for freelancers and digital professionals in Pakistan. Currently, we often need to fund our accounts for international expenses (like SaaS subscriptions, ads, or marketplace fees) that require USD. The existing process typically involves:
- Using a third-party bank or exchange service with high fees and unfavorable rates.
- Managing separate PKR and USD funds in different places.
A built-in PKR Load & Convert feature would:
Simplify Operations: Create a one-stop shop within Elevate Pay. Fund your account in PKR and seamlessly convert to USD to spend via your virtual card or make international payments.
Improve Cash Flow: Allow us to quickly capitalize on good PKR/USD exchange rates by loading and converting when it's most advantageous.
Increase Platform Stickiness: This would make Elevate Pay the central hub for all our financial activity—from receiving international client payments to spending for our business—reducing the need for other financial platforms.
Provide Transparency & Control: Offer real-time, competitive exchange rates with low, clear conversion fees directly within the app, eliminating guesswork and hidden charges.
Essentially, this bridges the local and international financial needs of a Pakistani freelancer into a single, powerful dashboard. It would be a game-changer for managing our entire financial ecosystem.
