Facebook New Monetization Rules in Pakistan: A Guide for Creators

Facebook recently updated its content monetisation policy, causing many page owners and creators to lose access to earnings often without warning. Even those who followed all community guidelines found themselves suddenly demonetised.

In the last two days, many creators have lost access to important ways of earning money, such as in-stream ads, reel ads, photo post earnings, and story monetization. What makes it even more frustrating is that Facebook didn’t give any warning or clear explanation, leaving creators confused.

Why Are Pages Losing Monetisation?

The sudden wave of demonetisations seems linked to Facebook’s stricter financial eligibility requirements. A major change is the restriction on using Pakistani bank accounts and tax details for payouts. Now, creators must link their financial details to eligible countries such as:

• United States
• United Kingdom
• United Arab Emirates
• India

Even if a creator produces original content and follows Facebook’s guidelines, failing to meet these new financial rules can result in automatic demonetisation.

Common Reasons for Monetisation Loss

Many pages lost their earning access due to:

• Bank accounts not based in eligible countries
• Mismatched tax details and payout accounts
• Use of third-party or incorrect financial information
• Unverified or inconsistent payout details

Some creators who had been monetising successfully through Facebook’s Rights Manager tool were still affected, possibly due to outdated or non-compliant financial setups.

How to Comply With Facebook’s New Monetisation System

To avoid payout suspension or permanent monetisation bans, page owners should:

✅ Use bank and tax details from the same eligible country
✅ Ensure all financial information matches official records
✅ Avoid fake or borrowed details, which can lead to permanent bans
✅ Submit accurate and verifiable documents during setup or verification

Facebook now aggressively flags inconsistencies. If payouts enter verification mode and fail, the platform may permanently disable monetisation for that page.

What Creators Can Do Now

Review your payout country and tax details
Stay updated with Facebook’s monetisation policies
Be careful when entering financial details—mistakes can have long-term effects

While these sudden changes have disrupted many creators, those who adjust their financial details to meet Facebook’s new standards may regain monetisation access. Moving forward, staying informed and compliant is key for anyone relying on Facebook for income.
