how to transfer money from UK to pakistan

Key Steps to Transfer Money from the UK to Pakistan (GBP to PKR)
Choose a Provider Focused on Value:

For the transparent exchange rate, providers like Remit Choice Money Transfer, and Wise frequently top the comparison charts for UK-to-Pakistan transfers. They often offer fair exchange rates to users.

Western Union and MoneyGram remain excellent options if your priority is the widest network of agent locations for cash pickup across Pakistan.

Select Your Payout Method:

Cash Pickup: If your family needs physical cash quickly, select a provider with a large network (WorldRemit, or Remit Choice). The recipient in Pakistan will collect the GBP equivalent in PKR cash at a local branch (e.g., UBL, MCB, Allied Bank) using their valid CNIC and the MTCN/PIN you send them.

Mobile Wallet: For instant digital access, choose a provider that supports direct transfers to mobile wallet. This usually requires the recipient's mobile number linked to their mobile wallet account.

(Note: Bank Deposit is often the cheapest but requires a formal bank account.)

Funding the Transfer (Your End in the UK):

The most cost-effective way to pay is usually via bank transfer (from your UK bank account), although this can take longer (1-3 days).

For the fastest transfer (often instant), use a debit card or credit card, but note that credit card payments may incur additional fees or cash advance charges from your card issuer.

You can easily use the apps or websites of the providers mentioned (like Remit Choice or WorldRemit) right from the UK to initiate the transfer immediately!
