Pakistanis need incoming funds in USD for PSEB 0.25% Tax offer.
This issue is specially for my personal Pakistan based banking environment. We have to become an Active Tax Payer and be present on that Active Tax Payer List (ATL) which is issued by FBR (Federal Board of Revenue). Then we register with Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) as a freelancer or digital technology startup etc. For a Freelancer case, we get registered and after than we can also open dedicated "Freelancer Bank Accounts" in different local banks. These "Freelancer Bank Accounts" allow us to receive and retain about 5K$ of it as USD. Such digital services are all considered as the category of "Exports". Normally 1-2% tax is for all kinds of exports. Being on the ATL and registered with PSEB offers us 0.25% Withholding Tax instead of regular 1-2% Export Tax. But there's a catch to this policy, that is that the incoming funds should be in USD to avail this offer. So we can use any local bank account for incoming USD funds to avail 0.25% Withholding Tax offer. But to retain 5K$ of it as USD we must use these dedicated "Freelancer Bank Accounts" or other USD accounts. I am Discussing "Freelancer Bank Accounts" here is because the account opening process is very simple for these "Freelancer Bank Accounts", we only need ATL and PSEB Certificate of being a Freelancer or a Tech Company. Tech Companies can even use their regular company bank accounts and also retain 100% USD in their accounts and also avail 0.25% Withholding Tax offer. But all this is possible when we are having incoming USD funds. Otherwise with incoming USD funds, there's no eligibility for 0.25% Withholding Tax offer. ElevatePay gives us incoming funds in our local currency PKR. Thus we can't utilize this offer given to us from Pakistan's government.

Feature Request: Direct Transfers to/from Gulf Countries (UAE, KSA, Qatar, etc.)
I would like to request the ability to send and receive money directly between Elevate Pay accounts and bank accounts (or digital wallets) in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia (KSA), Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. How this would help: This feature addresses a significant gap for a large segment of freelancers and remote workers who earn income in Gulf currencies (like AED, SAR, QAR) rather than USD or EUR. The current financial ecosystem often forces them into costly and slow multi-currency conversions or reliance on expensive traditional remittance services. A Gulf Transfers Corridor would: Serve a Key Market: Many professionals work remotely for Gulf-based companies or have completed on-site contracts there. This feature would make Elevate Pay their natural choice for receiving and managing those earnings efficiently. Reduce Costs & Delays: Provide fast, low-cost direct transfers in local Gulf currencies, eliminating the need for intermediate currencies (e.g., SAR → USD → PKR) and their associated double-conversion fees and poor rates. Expand Professional Opportunities: Make it safer and easier for freelancers to accept contracts from Gulf clients by offering a professional, direct payment method familiar to those clients. Support Families & Business: Facilitate not just freelance income, but also personal remittances and B2B payments between the Gulf and users' home countries. Create a Competitive Edge: Fewer platforms reliably serve this specific corridor with speed and affordability. Implementing this would attract a vast, dedicated user base looking for a modern solution. In short, this transforms Elevate Pay from a USD/EUR-centric platform into a truly global financial hub for professionals, capturing the vital economic corridor between South Asia and the Gulf. It’s a logical and powerful expansion of your transfer network.

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