Bank Deposit

Funds sent directly to a Pakistani bank account (HBL, UBL, MCB, Meezan, etc.). Typically 1–4 hours for most exchange house transfers. Wise bank transfers take 1–2 business days. Best for larger amounts or recipients with active bank accounts.

Mobile Wallet (Easypaisa/JazzCash)

Fastest delivery — often within minutes. No bank account needed. Good for recipients in areas with limited banking access. Available via Remitly and WorldRemit from UAE.
