Learn how to get the best Pakistani exchange rate before exchanging your money

The Pakistani Rupee is the official Pakistani currency. PKR/AUD represents the value of Pakistani money in Australian money and it is called the 'exchange rate' or 'forex rate'. This exchange rate from Pakistani Rupee to Australian Dollar is today at 0.005.

As an example, suppose you are from Sydney Australia and you travel to Islamabad Pakistan. There, you need to get 1000 Pakistani Rupees (Rs) at a Islamabad bank to pay your hotel. In this case you would pay 0.005 * 1000 = 5 Australian Dollars ($). But, in practice, you will pay more (or perhaps much more) to get the same amount of your foreign currency due to the margin for the money conversion services costs like: commissions, credit card surcharges, ATM fees and other expenses. If, for example, you are using a credit card, this margin will typically be around 2 to 3 percent. We recommend that you choose the best place to make your money exchange because there can be a large difference between forex rates you will get.

In the example above for a 1000 Pakistani Rupees amount, the result of the money conversion is 5.1 AUD for a 2% margin or 5.15 AUD for a 3% margin.

Some Internet based foreign currency exchange agencies add 10 percent or even more. So, if you make the same calculations above, there will be a difference of about 0.5 AUD depending on which forex bank or agency you choose to exchange your money.
