Bank details – Pakistan
Bank accounts in Pakistan have an IBAN. It starts with PK and has 24 characters. Ask your family for the IBAN exactly as their bank shows it, and the name exactly as on the account.
How can your family receive the money?
Which ways to receive money exist for Pakistan (for example to a bank account, or others) – the Wise app shows you before you send. This can change. Please check in the app first.
Many families in Pakistan like to receive money in a mobile wallet or as cash pickup. Check in the Wise app which ways to receive are available for Pakistan before you send – we can't promise any of them.
Sending for a holiday or a special day?
Before Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha, many people send money at the same time, and banks in Pakistan are closed on public holidays. Send a few days early so the money is there in time.

4 tips for sending money safely
Compare what arrives
Don't only compare the fee. Compare the amount that lands in your family's account.
Watch the exchange rate
Some services hide extra costs in the exchange rate. Always ask: how much arrives exactly?
Keep your receipts
Save the confirmation of every transfer. It helps if there are questions later.
Never send money to strangers
Do not send money to people you have never met. Not for a job offer, an online love, a prize or a call from the “police” or “tax office”. These are typical scams. Wise will never ask you to send money to a stranger.
