Send Money from Ireland to Pakistan

There is no single cheapest provider on this corridor — it depends on how much you send and how your recipient is paid. Compare the total amount received in Pakistani rupees rather than the advertised fee, since the exchange rate margin is usually the larger cost. Bank deposit is typically cheaper than cash pickup.

Most transfers on this corridor arrive within one to three business days. Paying by debit card is generally faster than a bank transfer, and transfers initiated outside banking hours may not begin processing until the next working day.

Across the providers we compare, the available payout methods are Easypaisa, bank deposit, cash pickup and card payout. The most widely used options in Pakistan are bank deposit, Easypaisa and JazzCash wallets, and cash pickup. Pakistan's government-backed remittance scheme means many providers waive fees on bank deposits. Not every provider supports every method, so check the table above before you commit.

No. Remitly and Western Union offer cash pickup in Pakistan, so your recipient can collect the funds with valid photo ID and the transfer reference number. That said, bank deposit, Easypaisa and JazzCash wallets, and cash pickup generally cost less than cash collection.

Providers rarely give you the mid-market rate — the reference rate you see on Google or Reuters. Instead they add a margin, typically between 0.4% and 4%, and keep the difference. That margin is often larger than the visible transfer fee, which is why a "no fee" service can still be more expensive overall. For EUR to PKR, compare the quoted rate against the mid-market rate to see the real spread you are paying.

Yes, provided you use a licensed provider. Every service listed on this page is regulated in Ireland under the Central Bank of Ireland, which requires safeguarding of customer funds and identity verification. Send only to people you know personally, keep your transfer reference private, and be sceptical of anyone pressuring you to send money urgently to someone you have not met.

Yes. Each provider sets its own transfer limits, which vary by how much identity verification you have completed and how you pay. Larger transfers may require additional documentation such as proof of source of funds. For transfers above roughly €10,000, a specialist foreign-exchange broker will often beat an app on rate.

This corridor's Wise balance, bank-transfer and open-banking figures are identical, to the cent, to the same provider's Spanish page for the same destination — 7.67 from a balance, 9.98 by bank transfer, 8.16 by open banking, on a stated 1,000 EUR. Wise's debit and credit card figures are not quoted here for the reasons given on this hub's Philippines page — they are the two rows this site has found to be unstable across reads and across euro hubs. Wise's Irish pages offer an open-banking payment option that its American, Singaporean and Swiss pages do not — a direct bank payment authorised through your own bank rather than a card or a manual transfer, and it is consistently cheaper here than an ordinary bank transfer for the same money leaving the same account. Pakistan is one of the world's top remittance-receiving countries. Easypaisa mobile-wallet payout sits alongside a long list of named banks on Remitly's page here, matching what this site found on Spain's corridor to Pakistan. From October 2026 the State Bank of Pakistan's Pasban Remittance Reward Scheme, funded by Pakistan's banks, enters recipients of remittances through banking channels into quarterly prize draws: an account qualifies by receiving USD 100 or more a month for three consecutive months in a quarter, and banks may not charge to take part (ARY News, September 2026). It rewards the recipient, not the sender, and does not change any provider's price on this page.
