Get the live GBP → PKR rate
Exchange rates move every minute, so this page won't quote a fixed number — open the converter above for the current mid-market GBP/PKR rate (cached hourly, works offline with a fallback). The mid-market rate is the "real" rate; what you actually receive depends on the provider's margin and fees below.
Best ways to send GBP to Pakistan
| Provider | Typical cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wise | Low % margin, transparent | Mid-market rate; great for transparency |
| Remitly | Low fee; first-transfer promo | Fast; Economy vs Express |
| ACE Money Transfer | Competitive for UK→Pakistan | Popular corridor specialist |
| Western Union / Ria | Higher margin; cash pickup | Wide cash-pickup network |
| Roshan Digital Account (RDA) | Bank rate; for NRPs | Direct to PKR/foreign-currency accounts |
Always compare the total received in PKR, not just the headline fee — a "zero fee" transfer can hide a poor exchange-rate margin.
Tips to get more PKR for your money
- Compare the total PKR received for your exact amount, not just the fee.
- Corridor specialists like ACE Money Transfer are often competitive for UK→Pakistan.
- Roshan Digital Account can offer attractive rates and incentives for overseas Pakistanis.
- First-transfer promos (Remitly) can win once — check the ongoing rate afterwards.
- Send larger, less frequent transfers to spread fixed fees over more rupees.
