How to send money from UK to Pakistan

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Pakistan, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is WorldRemit.

WorldRemit was the cheapest on 7 of the 24 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Pakistan.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, WorldRemit delivers the most PKR.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/PKR rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

Paying from your bank is usually the fastest, since most companies connect to your banking app via Open Banking.

Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.

On a £6,000 transfer the verification is normally instant but can take a couple of hours.

Compare amounts

How much GBP are you sending to Pakistan?

How much GBP you send to Pakistan heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.

Our analysis shows WorldRemit was the cheapest in 29% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted, and in 28% of all the transfers it quoted.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £6,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £6,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. The bank line is the cheapest bank available on each day.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more PKR per GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 26 of the last 30 days.

Right now, WorldRemit pays 2,233,244.37 PKR on 6,000 GBP, which is 518.99 PKR more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 2,247,509.40 PKR.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Pakistan.

We've tracked 209 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. WorldRemitAppeared in 95 comparisons

    Cheapest in 28% of them

  2. MoneyGramAppeared in 179 comparisons

    Cheapest in 69% of them

  3. Regency FXAppeared in 119 comparisons

    Cheapest in 22% of them

  4. Nationwide BankAppeared in 208 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 209 comparisons across 7 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today WorldRemit is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

MoneyGram (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in 69% of its comparisons, so if you send money to Pakistan regularly, it's worth comparing it with WorldRemit before each transfer.

Ways to send money from the UK to Pakistan

There are many ways to send money to Pakistan from the UK, including app, online, currency broker, multi-currency account, global business account, in person, and bank, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

If you send small amounts back home to Pakistan, say weekly or monthly, an app like WorldRemit is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

It charges £0.99 in fees, has -0.04% markup, lets you save recipient details, and PKR will arrive in minutes.

Over the past month, WorldRemit was the cheapest app on 29% of the days it appeared for £6,000 transfers.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized PKR transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.

Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.

Of the 9 companies we compared, MoneyGram is the cheapest online service and will get you Rs2,227,341.60 on a £6,000 transfer.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 29 of the 30 days it quoted.

For large transfers

Brokers

Currency brokers like Regency FX are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).

You get a dedicated account manager to handle your transfer to Pakistan, and real human support.

Regency FX charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.27% markup on top of the current GBP/PKR rate.

The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 80% of the transfers from £6,000 it quoted.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Pakistan Rupees abroad like a local.

Wise offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £6,000 to PKR will get you Rs2,219,808.96 after fees.

If you don’t have PKR in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Pakistan.

Once you have PKR in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).

Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Pakistan, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

Only if you have to

Banks

Your UK bank is the most expensive way to send money to Pakistan.

On a £6,000 transfer, banks like Nationwide Bank will add 4.1% markup, getting you Rs2,137,595.55 vs Rs2,233,244.37 with WorldRemit.

We found Nationwide Bank was the cheapest bank on 30 of the 30 days it appeared for this amount.

Consider this when sending GBP to Pakistan

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Pakistan such as limits, taxes, and safety.

Compare GBP/PKR transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Pakistan:

Cheapest way to send money to Pakistan

The cheapest way is to use WorldRemit, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get Rs2,233,244.37, which is 0.26% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Pakistan

The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get Rs2,204,680.16 and it will arrive in within minutes.

UK transfer limits

There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.

Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).

Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.

And on bigger GBP/PKR transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.

These are anti-money-laundering checks, and they can hold your transfer up, so have the documents ready.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending £6,000 with WorldRemit will get you 2,233,244.37 PKR, that’s including £0.99 fee and -0.04% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like Nationwide Bank on the other hand, will get you Rs2,137,595.55, that’s £15 in fees but 4.1% in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Pakistan.

And, regular gifts from your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, with no cap and no seven-year wait, as long as you can still cover your usual living costs.

Staying safe when sending abroad

Only ever use a provider authorised by the FCA, which you can check on the FCA register in under a minute.

The rules in place for any scams cover domestic pound transfers only, on a transfer abroad you're less protected.

Always confirm who you're really sending to before you send, because there's little recourse after.

How we analyse the market

We track 9 regulated companies offering money transfers from the UK to Pakistan in real time.

We analyse the fees, exchange rates, deposit/withdrawal methods, and each goes through our internal review.

Most GBP/PKR pricing data comes directly from the providers. We collect the rest manually, run it through our comparison engine and label it in the table.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 209 comparisons across 7 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for GBP/PKR transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.
