PKR Edition — No. 001CorridorsBoard live
Every provider on this route, ranked by the rupees that actually land — fees and exchange rate combined into one honest number. Here's how to get the most for your family, and when to send.
The UK is one of the largest remittance corridors to Pakistan, and it's well served: nearly every major transfer app can send pounds to a Pakistani bank account, JazzCash or Easypaisa.
The trap on every route is the same: the provider with the biggest "zero fee" banner is often not the one that delivers the most rupees. Most of the real cost hides inside the exchange rate as a margin over the mid-market rate. Because so many providers compete on the GBP→PKR route, the gap between the best and worst deal on a £500 transfer can be several thousand rupees — which is exactly what RemitPK surfaces.
RemitPK combines the fee and that hidden margin into a single number — the rupees delivered for what you pay — and re-ranks every provider on the UK→Pakistan route for your exact amount. No sponsorship, no reordering.
The channels most used on this route:
RemitPK reads each one's live pricing and ranks them by delivered rupees — so you don't have to open six apps to find the best deal.
On most routes you can send to:
Sending through official channels isn't just safer than hundi or hawala — it pays you back. Every formal remittance earns points in the State Bank's Sohni Dharti Remittance Programme, redeemable against passport and NADRA fees, utility bills and PIA tickets. A Roshan Digital Account lets overseas Pakistanis invest and hold foreign currency too. Informal channels give you none of this — and no protection if something goes wrong.
You can't predict the rupee, but you don't have to. RemitPK shows how today's rate compares to the last 90 days and can notify you the moment your route reaches a strong level — so a few seconds of patience turns into thousands more rupees delivered. More on timing your transfer →
There is no single best provider — it changes with the amount and the day. The best choice is whichever delivers the most rupees for what you pay once the fee and the exchange-rate margin are combined. RemitPK ranks every provider on the UK→Pakistan route by that one number, recalculated for your exact amount.
The visible fee is only half the cost — most of it usually hides in the exchange rate as a margin over the mid-market rate. On a typical £500 transfer the total cost can range widely between providers, which is why comparing the effective GBP→PKR rate matters more than the headline fee.
Money can arrive straight into a Pakistani bank account, into a JazzCash or Easypaisa mobile wallet, or as cash for pickup. Bank and wallet transfers are usually fastest and cheapest; cash pickup is handy where a bank account isn't available.
The rupee moves daily, so the rate you get depends on timing. RemitPK scores today's rate against the last 90 days and can alert you when your route reaches a strong level — so you send on a good day instead of on autopilot.
No. RemitPK is an information service that compares licensed providers and links you to them — your transfer happens on the provider's own regulated platform. We never hold or move your money, which keeps the comparison honest.
