The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has implemented a significant new security measure for branchless banking services like JazzCash and Easypaisa.
This rule introduces a two-hour 'cooling time' on funds received by a user. While the money will be credited to the recipient's account instantly, they will be unable to withdraw or spend those funds for the first two hours.
The primary goal of this system is to prevent fraud and protect against accidental transfers. If you mistakenly send money to the wrong number, this two-hour window gives you crucial time to file a complaint and potentially stop the transaction before the funds can be misused.
