Hi, How do you guys send money from US to Pak ? I used to send via Click n Remit service from UBL/NY and i was quite pleased with it and never had any issues. Seems like they no longer offer this service.

Based on google, ofx seems to be another option .

Any suggestions ?

xoom.com
best and instant service. $4.99 for $999 and below. if the sending amount is $1000 or more, then its free. competitive rates as well. highly recommend it.

I've personally used transferwise mainly with UK clients. I wasn't sure if its available for US. The first transaction can take a while to be verified but after that if its a repeat client, it takes maximum of 24 hours.

how about Western Union?

Turns out to be expensive. Also in most cases, transaction from UK to Pakistan is flagged so not processed.

Western Union isn't expensive actually. If you send money from a credit/ debit card or bank account online from the US and choose the deposit into the bank account option for the receiver, its actually free.
