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.

Always compare the total received in PKR, not the headline fee — a "zero fee" transfer can hide a poor exchange rate.
Tips to get more PKR for your money
- Compare the total PKR received for your exact amount, not just the fee.
- Include a corridor specialist as well as a global app when you compare quotes.
- Non-resident Pakistanis can also use a Roshan Digital Account (a State Bank of Pakistan initiative offered through Pakistani banks); check its terms with the bank.
- First-transfer promos (Remitly) can win once — check the ongoing rate afterwards.
- Send larger, less frequent transfers to spread fixed fees over more rupees.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the live GBP to PKR rate today?
Rates move continuously — use the converter above for the current mid-market GBP/PKR rate. The amount your recipient gets depends on the provider's margin and fee on top of that rate.
What is the cheapest way to send money from the UK to Pakistan?
There is no single cheapest option: price depends on amount, payment and payout method. Many providers serve UK→Pakistan (see the verified list on this page); get two or three quotes for your amount and compare the total PKR received.
What is a Roshan Digital Account?
An account scheme by the State Bank of Pakistan for overseas Pakistanis (NRPs) to send and invest money directly into PKR or foreign-currency accounts — check current terms with the offering bank.
Why is the rate worse than Google's?
Google shows the mid-market rate. Transfer providers add a margin and sometimes a fee, so your effective rate is a little lower. Always compare the final PKR amount across providers.
How do I get the best GBP–PKR rate?
Compare total received across two or three providers, treat first-transfer promotions as one-offs, and send larger amounts less frequently to dilute fixed fees.
