LNo More P2P. Direct Bank Deposits and Withdrawals to Crypto Exchanges Are Coming to Pakistan.


After years of restrictions, the State Bank of Pakistan has now allowed banks to open accounts for PVARA-licensed crypto companies under the new Virtual Assets Act 2026.
This marks a significant step forward: more trust, institutional adoption, and a regulated crypto future for Pakistan.
From ban to regulation has officially begun.
As soon as these accounts are opened, you will be able to make direct deposits and withdrawals from your bank accounts to licensed exchanges and from exchanges back to banks.
A new era for crypto in Pakistan is here.

This is a big positive for local exchanges; compliance costs are rising, but the ceiling has also been raised.

Banks can open accounts for licensed companies = a trust endorsement, making it easier for institutions to enter later.

We hope to make the KYC/AML process transparent at the same time, and not turn it into arbitrary freezing of accounts.

Direct deposits and withdrawals are indeed much more convenient, and the pitfalls of P2P are finally reduced a bit.
