About PakRemits
PakRemits compares money transfer services for people sending to Pakistan, ranked by the rupees that actually arrive.
Why it exists
Remittance pricing is deliberately hard to compare. A service advertises a zero fee and takes three percent in the exchange rate. Another advertises a great rate and charges a flat fee that dominates on small transfers. A bank does both and hopes you do not check.
None of that is comparable at a glance, which is the point. The only number that settles it is how many rupees land in the recipient’s account, and that requires computing the whole thing for every provider, at your amount, at this moment. That is all this site does.
The amounts involved are not trivial. A family sending a few hundred pounds a month through the wrong channel loses a meaningful fraction of a year’s support to spread they never see itemised.
What we do differently
We normalise the fee models. Some providers deduct their fee from what you send; others charge it on top. Comparing those at face value quietly favours the second kind. Every row here answers the same question instead: if you part with this much in total, what arrives?
We cover Pakistani rails properly. JazzCash, Easypaisa, Sadapay, Nayapay, Roshan Digital Accounts and cash pickup all have different rates and different delivery times, and global comparison sites tend to flatten them into one number or skip them.
We show our working. Every quote carries a capture time, anything over an hour old is flagged stale rather than presented as current, and how we rank names the file that does the sorting.
What we deliberately do not do
We do not list a provider unless we can get a real live quote from them without working around their website. Several large services put their quote flow behind bot protection, and a couple ask not to be crawled at all. We respect that, and the cost is that our tables are shorter than they could be.
We also do not give financial advice, hold funds, or take a cut of your transfer. We are a comparison table with opinions about arithmetic.
