About FindMyExchange

A project of Euro International, registered in Pakistan in 2004

FindMyExchange is a project of Euro International, a currency exchange firm registered in Pakistan in 2004.

For nearly two decades Euro International operated as a licensed exchange company franchise under the State Bank of Pakistan’s regulatory framework, serving walk-in customers buying and selling foreign currency. The licence was surrendered in 2023, following the State Bank’s structural reforms to the exchange companies sector.

Why we built this

Running a counter for that long taught us something most rate websites miss: the number on the screen is rarely the number you get. Spreads vary between branches in the same city. Remittance providers advertise “zero fees” while taking the margin in the exchange rate instead. Families sending money home from the Gulf or the UK have almost no way to compare what actually arrives.

FindMyExchange publishes both sides of the market. One national open market buying and selling rate for every currency we cover, a directory of licensed exchange companies and their verified branches across 129 cities, and live comparisons of what remittance providers actually deliver on the major corridors into Pakistan.

What we are, and what we are not

FindMyExchange is an information service. We do not buy, sell, hold or transmit currency, we are not a money transfer service, and we do not provide financial advice. Every exchange company we list is checked against the State Bank of Pakistan register of licensed exchange companies.

Rates are indicative. Open market figures come from licensed dealers; the reference rate is the global mid-market rate from a third-party FX feed. The rate quoted to you at a counter may differ.
