How to Load Money in Your Payoneer Card from Pakistan?

4 years ago I needed a credit card for online payment to Facebook and Google AdWords for advertisement of website, and I also want to avoid regular Credit Cards issued by local banks due to interest/ markup involved with these. I got UBL Wiz Card which is also a free prepaid debit card. It works well for payments to online local shopping and on ATMs but I faced problem for payments to some international companies. Then I came to know about Payoneer and got my card.

Now I found that loading money to Payoneer Card with UBL Wiz Card is very simple. So whenever I want money in my Payoneer Card, I load money to my Wiz Card by visiting any UBL Bank Branch and then transfer this amount to Payoneer Card from where I can use it anywhere online.
