Safer Alternatives to Withdraw Funds from Binance in Pakistan
For many Pakistani users, withdrawing funds from Binance to local bank accounts can be challenging. While P2P trading remains popular, it also carries risks of scams and potential bank account scrutiny. Fortunately, there are alternative methods worth considering:
1. Binance Direct Sell (Temporarily Suspended)
Binance introduced a Direct Sell feature that allowed instant conversion of USDT to PKR directly into bank or EMI accounts (e.g., Sadapay, Nayapay). This was one of the safest methods, as transfers were processed as remittances. Although currently suspended, its return would be a game-changer for Pakistani users.
2. Bank Transfers and Card Withdrawals
In certain regions, Binance supports fiat withdrawals through SWIFT bank transfers and Visa/MasterCard instant withdrawals. While fees may be higher, these methods reduce third-party risks and ensure legitimacy. Pakistani users should regularly check if these options become available in their accounts.
3. External Fiat Gateways
Another route is transferring crypto to platforms that support remittances to Pakistan (such as Payoneer-linked services). However, these methods must be used cautiously, as they may conflict with terms of service.
4. P2P with Strict Risk Management
If alternatives aren’t available, and you must use P2P, follow strict precautions:
Only transact within Binance escrow.
Accept payments from verified, same-name accounts.
Release crypto only after funds are credited.
Use EMI wallets (like Nayapay/Sadapay) instead of primary bank accounts.
Break large amounts into smaller transactions.

Conclusion
Until Binance reactivates Direct Sell or expands official withdrawal options in Pakistan, users must remain vigilant. The safest strategy is to prioritize official channels, and if P2P is unavoidable, apply strict risk controls to safeguard your funds and accounts.
