Zindigi Freelancer Connect Launches Nationwide Series from Peshawar — Empowering Pakistan’s Digital Workforce
Peshawar — Zindigi Freelancer Connect, hosted by CECOS University Peshawar and powered by Edversity, has officially launched a nationwide series designed to empower Pakistan’s freelance community through learning, networking, and digital financial access.
Central to this initiative is the Zindigi Freelancer Account, a comprehensive financial solution offering:
- US Dollar-based account for seamless international transactions
- Low international transaction fees via the Zindigi debit card
- Global and local payment support for freelancers
- In-app invoice generation for easy billing and client management
With Pakistan ranked among the top five freelancing countries globally and home to over 4 million freelancers, this platform responds directly to the needs of a digital-first workforce often underserved by traditional financial systems. By tackling payment barriers and promoting career sustainability, Zindigi Freelancer Connect is redefining how freelancers operate in today’s global economy.
“Zindigi Prize has grown into Pakistan’s largest homegrown entrepreneurial community, and Zindigi Freelancer Connect is another landmark initiative creating meaningful social impact,” said Ibtisam Babar, Regional Manager Special Initiatives at Zindigi. “It offers 360-degree support to freelancers — equipping them with skills, mentorship, and financial access to help them thrive and compete on a global scale.”
