Facebook’s recent changes to its monetization policy have left many content creators in Pakistan struggling as widespread demonetization takes hold. Numerous page owners have reported losing access to revenue streams, such as in-stream ads, reel ads, photo post earnings, and story monetization, disrupting their primary income sources.
The updated policy focuses on financial eligibility, restricting the use of Pakistani bank accounts and tax details for payouts. Creators must now connect bank accounts and financial data from eligible countries like the United States, United Kingdom, India, UAE, and others. This change has led to demonetization for many, even those adhering to community guidelines and producing original content.
Common reasons for demonetization include: Using bank accounts not based in eligible countries. Mismatch between tax details and payout accounts. Providing third-party or inaccurate financial information. Submitting unverifiable or inconsistent data during payouts. What Creators Can Do To regain monetization, content creators must: Provide matching bank and tax details from eligible countries. Use accurate and verifiable financial information. Avoid fake or borrowed account details, which could result in permanent bans. Ensure that all information aligns with official records. Facebook has increased scrutiny of financial details, and failed verifications can now lead to permanent loss of monetization. However, by complying with the revised standards, creators may restore their earning potential on the platform.
