Open Market vs Interbank Currency Rates
Pakistan’s open-market currency rates are not always the same as interbank rates.
Open-market rates generally reflect currency exchange transactions available through exchange companies. Interbank rates are primarily used for transactions between banks and financial institutions.
Banks, cards, remittance companies and payment services may therefore offer rates that differ from the figures shown in the open market. Open-market and interbank rates can also vary because of market conditions, liquidity and transaction costs.
Why Currency Rates Change in Pakistan
Foreign-exchange rates in Pakistan can move because of changes in:
- demand for US Dollars and other foreign currencies
- imports and exports
- overseas remittances
- foreign-exchange reserves
- inflation
- interest rates
- international oil and commodity prices
- broader global currency movements
Because currency prices can change during the trading day, always check the last updated time before making an exchange.
Which Currency Rate Should You Use?
The correct rate depends on the transaction:
Selling foreign currency: check the buying rate.
Buying foreign currency: check the selling rate.
Sending a remittance: compare the provider’s final PKR payout, including fees.
Paying by card: check the bank or card issuer’s conversion rate and charges.
Using a currency converter: treat the displayed rate as a reference unless it specifically states that it is an open-market buying or selling rate.
