Send Money from UAE to Pakistan — Best Rates in 2026
August 31, 2026 · 4 min read
The UAE to Pakistan corridor is one of the largest remittance routes in the world. With over 1.5 million Pakistanis working in the UAE, finding the cheapest way to send AED to PKR matters. Here's what we found.
Top Providers for AED → PKR
Remitly is currently the only provider we have data for on AED → PKR.
AED → PKR is served by fewer providers than the corridor's size suggests — several well-known apps that cover UAE senders do not price Pakistan, or cover Pakistan but not from the UAE. The live table below only lists providers that actually quote this pair, so it is the reliable check rather than a list of popular brand names.
Pakistan's State Bank (SBP) actively promotes official remittance channels through the Pakistan Remittance Initiative (PRI). Using licensed providers ensures your money is tracked and your recipient gets the best rate.
Delivery Options in Pakistan
- Bank deposit: All major banks — HBL, UBL, MCB, Allied Bank, Meezan Bank. 1-2 business days.
- Mobile wallet: JazzCash, Easypaisa. Instant delivery, very popular.
- Cash pickup: Available through bank branches and exchange company networks.
Tips for UAE Senders
- 1. Compare the total received amount, not just the fee. Exchange rate markup varies significantly between providers.
- 2. Send via bank transfer from your UAE account rather than card — card payments add 1-3% in fees.
- 3. Check rates on salary day. PKR rates can fluctuate. Many people send immediately after receiving salary.
