Best exchange rate to send money from UK to Pakistan

The cheapest way to send money from the UK to Pakistan is usually through a specialist online money transfer provider rather than a traditional bank. These services tend to offer more competitive exchange rates and lower fees, meaning more rupees reach your recipient.

To find the best value, compare the total amount delivered in Pakistani rupees rather than just the advertised fee, as a stronger exchange rate can make a real difference on larger transfers.

Many providers can complete a transfer from the UK to Pakistan within minutes when the recipient collects cash or uses a mobile wallet, while transfers to a bank account may take up to one or two working days.

The exact timing depends on the provider, the payment method you use and the receiving option your recipient chooses. Each provider listed below displays its estimated delivery time so you can pick the right balance of speed and cost.
