When you exchange money, the rate you get depends on who you use. Banks, exchange companies, card networks and transfer services add a margin to the market rate, and in Pakistan the open-market rate offered to individuals can differ from the interbank rate. Treat this page as the reference and ask your provider for its quote before you send or convert money.

The rate on this page is a market reference rate, so use it as a guide and ask your provider for its quote.
