Most efficient way to send money to Pakistan

Hi all,

Not sure which sub-forum this should go to…

I live in Toronto, Canada and am running a business providing services to local businesses in Toronto. I outsource my work to a team in Pakistan and the arrangement has been working out excellent, except for one.

I currently use UAEexchange to send money to my team in Pakistan, however this is turning out to be a rather expensive option as they have a flat fee regardless of the amount and a lot of my time I have to send small amounts for individual projects.

My team has a MCB account in Pakistan and as much as I understand, MCB does not have a branch in Toronto or support money transfers from Canada to Pakistan. WesternUnion will be even more expensive than UAEexchange.

I am hoping for an option where I either pay a small fee per transaction or a monthly fee for unlimited or a large number of transactions.

Any ideas?

Hi Mirch,

This seems to be setup for USA, do you know if this will work for Canada?

Re: Most efficient way to send money to Pakistan

You can send a bank check to Pakistan, it takes a little time to get transferred but it has no added cost.

Why not . Did you try to setup your account ?

Thank you all, this was very helpful.

I just wish that Pakistani banks (or at least one of them) had branches in Toronto or GTA like the ICICI does.

UAExchange doesn't charge anything if you send more than $100.
