Why does the GBP to PKR rate change?
GBP/PKR moves with both sides: the pound reacts to UK interest rates, inflation and economic news, while the rupee reacts to Pakistan's reserves and trade balance. A strong pound and a weak rupee together push the rate up.
Interbank vs open-market rate
Rates come from a public exchange-rate feed and refresh during the day. Banks, exchange companies and money-transfer apps add their own margin, so the rate you are offered will be a little lower when you sell foreign currency and a little higher when you buy it. Always confirm the final rate before you send money.
Getting the best rate when you send money
- Compare the total amount received, not just the rate, because fees differ.
- Licensed exchange companies and banks are safer than informal hawala and hundi.
- Use the Pakistan Remittance Initiative channels so your family gets the money free of extra charges.
- Avoid converting at airports, where rates are usually worse.
