We track Western Union and MoneyGram and are working to add them to this corridor — we'd rather show nothing than an unverified rate.
“Mid-market” is the real rate banks trade at between themselves, before any markup — the fairest benchmark for what a transfer actually costs you. More terms, decoded →

About this corridor
What to watch when sending to Pakistan
UK→Pakistan prices sit close together: the gap between the best and worst provider is among the smallest on the routes we track, so a small fee difference can decide the ranking. Watch for promotional rates that only apply to a first transfer.
The cheapest way to send money to Pakistan from the UK
On today's data, WorldRemit is the cheapest way to send money to Pakistan from the UK — your recipient gets ₨365,495 on a £1,000 transfer, roughly ₨2,322 more than the worst-value option (Wise). Rankings shift daily as providers reprice, so the cheapest provider changes from one day to the next — we refresh every morning from real quotes, so always check today's table above before you send.
GBP to PKR exchange rate today
The mid-market GBP/PKR rate — the real rate banks trade at, before any markup — is currently around 366.382. Once fees and margin are included, WorldRemit's effective rate sits about 0.24% below mid-market, which works out to roughly £2.42 of cost on £1,000. Over the last 30 days the best recipient amount has ranged between ₨365,495 and ₨372,705. No provider gives you the pure mid-market rate — the goal is finding the one that sits closest to it.
Is it safe to send money to Pakistan?
Yes — the major providers we compare, including Wise, Remitly and WorldRemit, are established, FCA-authorised money-transfer firms that move money to Pakistan every day. Plyna is an independent comparison service and doesn't handle your transfer; we simply show what each provider gives your recipient. Always start your transfer on the provider's own site or app and confirm the final rate and fee there. See our methodology for exactly how we collect and rank these figures.

Common questions
Sending money from UK to Pakistan
- Which provider gives the best GBP to PKR rate?
- In our last 30 days of quotes for £1,000, Ria paid out the most on 22 days (WorldRemit 8). Picking the worst provider instead of the best cost £7.37 on average. The leader can change, so check today's ranking above before you send.
- How long does a UK to Pakistan bank transfer take?
- It depends on the provider, how you pay and the recipient's bank. Bank deposits often arrive the same day, and first transfers can take longer while identity checks are done. Plyna compares price, not speed, so check the delivery estimate on the provider's quote before you confirm.
- What is the mid-market GBP to PKR rate?
- The mid-market rate is the real interbank exchange rate — the benchmark all providers are compared against. The PKR can be volatile, so the mid-market rate fluctuates daily. Plyna captures each provider's quoted rate once a day and shows the margin charged above mid-market.
- Are there any restrictions on sending money from the UK to Pakistan?
- There are no UK restrictions on personal remittances to Pakistan. All providers we track are FCA-authorised in the UK. Providers may apply their own transfer limits. Pakistan's State Bank has its own inward remittance regulations, but these are handled by the provider.
- How much PKR does my recipient get for £1,000 sent from the UK?
- On 14 November 2026, the most your recipient could get for £1,000 was ₨365,495 with WorldRemit, and the least was ₨363,173 with Wise. Over the last 30 days the gap averaged £7.37. Today's figures for every provider are in the comparison above.
How we collect this data
Real quotes. Dated snapshots. Nothing modelled.
Every figure on this page traces back to an actual quote pulled from the provider's own rate calculator on a specific day. The exchange rate is compared against the true mid-market rate at the time of collection, exposing any hidden margin baked into the quoted rate. Recipient amounts are calculated as (£1,000 − fee) × rate × (1 − margin).
