How can I buy US stocks from Pakistan without a foreign bank account?
One way is stock tokens such as Apple, Tesla and Nvidia in Catch, which runs in Telegram and on the web, does not block Pakistan and trades 24/7 for 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum. You do not need a foreign bank account: you add money only from another wallet, such as USDC sent on Base from an exchange, so Catch fits people who already hold USDC and can withdraw it on the Base network.
Catch at a glance
- Trading
- 24/7, weekends included
- Fee
- 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum
- Chains
- Base and Robinhood Chain, one balance
- Issued by
- Coinbase on Base, Robinhood on Robinhood Chain. Not issued by Catch.
Ways to add money from Pakistan
MoonPay, the payment service in Catch, does not serve Pakistan, so from Pakistan you add money only from another wallet.
From a wallet or exchange: Open Withdraw or Send (Pay in the Coinbase app), pick USDC and the network called Base, and send at least $5 to the address Catch shows under Add money. Only send on Base or Robinhood Chain; other networks may be lost. We have not checked whether Binance lets you withdraw USDC on the Base network from Pakistan, so confirm with your exchange before you send.
Your money sits in one balance, held in dollars, across Base and Robinhood Chain, and moving it between them has no Catch fee.
Where Catch is not a fit
Catch sells stock tokens held in your Catch wallet, not a brokerage account. If you want a brokerage account, Catch is not a fit.
Catch has no bank transfer option. From Pakistan you add money only from another wallet: USDC or ETH on Base, or USDG or ETH on Robinhood Chain.
If you do not already hold USDC and cannot withdraw it on the Base network, Catch is not a fit for you yet.
