Understanding the SAR to PKR Exchange Rate

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia hosts over 2.5 million Pakistani expatriates, generating the single largest bilateral remittance inflow into Pakistan's economy each year.

Because the Saudi Riyal is fixed to the US Dollar at a peg of 3.75 SAR per USD, the SAR/PKR exchange rate moves in direct lockstep with the interbank USD/PKR market.

Expatriates transferring money from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Medina frequently compare Tahweel Al Rajhi, Western Union, and digital money transfer apps to avoid excessive retail exchange margins.

Frequently Asked Questions (SAR to PKR)

Why is the SAR to PKR rate closely tied to the USD?

The Saudi Riyal has been officially pegged to the US Dollar at 3.75 SAR per 1 USD since 1986. Therefore, changes in the USD/PKR interbank rate directly dictate the SAR/PKR rate.

What is the most cost-effective way to send money from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan?

Digital banking applications and automated transfer kiosks provide faster delivery and more transparent exchange rates compared to physical exchange house cash counters.
