Euro to Pakistani Rupee

One Euro costs 314.00 Pakistani rupees to buy on the open market, and selling one gets you 310.80 rupees. This is the national open market rate, maintained by our editorial team and updated through the day — an individual counter may quote either side of it.

The interbank rate is a wholesale price for trades between banks in size. A counter has to cover the cost of holding physical notes, the risk that the rate moves while it holds them, and its own margin. That gap is normal; what varies is how wide it is, which is why comparing branches is worth doing.

We do not have enough recorded open market readings for EUR yet to answer that honestly. The chart above shows what has been recorded so far, and it fills as the board is updated. A rising figure means the rupee is weakening against the Euro, not the other way round.

We have no recorded series for EUR yet, so we cannot quote a high from our own data, and we will not repeat one we have not measured. For context, in 2023 — the rupee's weakest year so far — one Euro cost roughly 332 rupees.

The buying rate — 310.80 rupees per Euro today. It is called the buying rate because it is the rate the exchange company buys at; you are the one selling. The other figure, 314.00, is what you would pay to buy EUR from them.

Because the gap between them is what the exchange earns. A counter holds physical notes, carries the risk that the rate moves while it holds them, and pays for staff, security and the cash itself — the spread covers that. Today's gap on EUR is 3.20 rupees per unit, which is 1.02% of the selling rate. A wide spread costs you twice if you buy and then sell back, so it is worth comparing.

For dollars, yes — the 100-dollar note usually fetches a better rate than small notes. For the Euro, denominations are generally quoted at the same rate, so a counter should not pay you less for smaller notes. Condition still matters: torn, marked or heavily creased notes are discounted or refused in any currency.

Up to about 4,466 EUR a day for travel, and up to about 8,932 EUR a day if you are depositing it into a foreign currency account. Those are the State Bank's limits for cash at an exchange company, written in dollars (5,000 and 10,000 USD) and converted here at today's board rate, so the figures move with the rate. Your original CNIC is required, biometric verification applies from 500 dollars upwards, and a travel purchase needs a passport, the visa where applicable and a confirmed ticket, with supporting documents from 1,000 dollars upwards.

It depends on the currency, and it is worth checking both. Today EUR sells on the open market above the interbank reference by 1.67%. As a rule the dollar trades on the open market above interbank, because cash dollars are in demand; most other currencies trade close to, or a little below, their own interbank rate. A bank will also apply its own margin and may not hold the currency in cash at all, which is why travellers usually end up at an exchange company.

At any exchange company licensed by the State Bank of Pakistan. We list 129 cities with verified branches, and every company shown is checked against the SBP register before it appears.

Yes. Your original CNIC, NICOP or POC is always required, and biometric verification applies to Pakistani nationals from USD 500 upwards. A travel purchase also needs a passport, the visa where applicable, and a confirmed ticket, with supporting documents required from USD 1,000 upwards.
