AirTm review: Biggest disadvantages of Airtm platform in Pakistan

Complete and comprehensive review of Airtm.io for Pakistan

Payment processor is the biggest issue that is faced by freelancers in Pakistan. With PayPal missing even in 2020 freelancers are left behind on the mercy

of exchangers and cryptocurrencies. Sure there is Payoneer and skrill working in Pakistan but many users don't use them because either fees or large minimum transaction limit.
This is where Airtm comes in motion. Airtm works as the traditional exchange but operates on AirUSD currency.
You can deposit money in AirTM with any currency, cryptocurrency, Gift card or online payment processor and withdraw money in your local currency.

Sounds simple but has lot of disadvantages as well hidden in plain sight. This is a complete review of AirTM in Pakistan. So let's begin.

1. Limited Availibility:-

Many payment options for withdrawal in Pakistan like Easypaisa, JazzCash and bank deposits are marked with limited availability which means you can't withdraw money easily!

People deposit money in hopes of withdrawing money in local currency but the money gets stuck because with little or no offers available!

2. Nonsensical Fees:-

You pay for depositing money as well as withdrawing money which doesn't makes much sense as the platform offers p2p trading but Airtm takes a big chunk of fees in deposit and withdrawal.

If you are depositing and withdrawing a large sum of money then only you can afford fees but if you are depositing amounts lower then $10 then you might not save much in fees.

3. Not Officially Registered:-

When you trade on Airtm they tell you not to mention them in details of reference of transactions because many don't allow exchangers and Airtm works as an exchanger.

This is another disadvantage of AirTM. They aren't registered as a firm and they can vanish anytime without a trace.

4. No Rules For Abuse:-

There is actually no rule for any kind of abuse meaning many people accept your offer and simply reject it after hours of waiting and they face nothing from AirTM. AirTM doesn't have any kind of rules for people who abuse the system and simply left them for annoy other people.


There are many advantages of Airtm as well like selling gift cards and selling digital currencies but they all depend on availability.
