About Raast QR
In Pakistan, QR codes are paid through Raast QR, operated by the State Bank of Pakistan. Raast is the State Bank of Pakistan's instant payment system; its QR codes are paid from any Raast-enabled bank app.
You will see Raast QR codes at shops, restaurants, fuel stations and online stores. With QRiks every one of them can be paid with USDT, and the merchant receives Pakistani rupees as usual.
Can I pay Raast QR codes without a Pakistani bank account?
Yes. With QRiks you scan the Raast QR code and pay with USDT. A vetted payer in Pakistan pays the merchant from their own Pakistani account, so you don't need a local bank account, card or phone number.
What does the merchant in Pakistan receive?
The merchant receives Pakistani rupees (PKR) through Raast QR, exactly like a payment from a local customer. They don't need to know about QRiks or accept crypto.
What do I pay with?
USDT on Polygon from your QRiks wallet. The quote shows the exchange rate, our fee and the network cost before you confirm.
Who runs Raast QR?
Raast QR is operated by the State Bank of Pakistan.
What if the payment doesn't go through?
Your USDT stays in escrow until an independent validator in Pakistan confirms that the merchant was paid. If the merchant wasn't paid, your USDT is returned.
Where can I pay with Raast QR in Pakistan?
Anywhere a Raast QR QR code is displayed: shops, restaurants, fuel stations and online stores.
