To sign up as a member of Empower Network, you need a virtual or plastic credit- or debitcard with VISA or mastercard logo to be able to signup.
Differences between credit and debitcard?
- Debit Card Means (Pre-Paid) 0% Interest
- Credit Card means (Post Paid) > 15% Interest
So needless to say? You’re better of with a debit card.
Where can I get a debit card online?
We’ve covered that years ago already. Short list:
EntroPay.com | Been reported to work from many countries(don’t use it!)- Neteller.com
- MoneyBookers.com
“But I’m from Pakistan!”
“Yeah … so?”
That’s what my response used to be.
After doing a lot of research it seems that having a VISA or mastercard emblem, doesn’t mean a whole lot with regards to shopping outside the national borders in Pakistan.
Even if they could get such a card online (thru earlier mentioned sites), transactions to or from the card will just be declined.
Which is why this list is a life savior:
List of Working debit cards
After doing a lot of online research these cards seem to work for shopping online and/or signup within Empower Network.
- MCB Visa Prepaid
- UBL Wiz Debitcard
- StandardChartered.com Pakistan Debitcard
You can just fund these cards with PKR (Pakistan’s currency) and spend it online.
The banks do the conversion for you into USD. So what makes Pakistan different from the rest of the planet is that proper debitcards are only issued from their national banks.
