The interbank reference — the global mid-market rate, sampled daily,
which tracks Pakistan’s interbank rate closely but is not the State Bank of Pakistan’s own
published figure. The open market rate sits above this and is what a counter will actually
quote you. See SBP’s published rate.

About the British Pound in Pakistan
Britain has the oldest large Pakistani diaspora, and sterling arrives mostly as remittances from long-settled families rather than as short-term worker earnings — which makes the flow steadier through the year than the Gulf currencies.
Sterling floats freely, so GBP/PKR moves on two independent things at once: what the rupee is doing, and what the pound is doing against the dollar. A rate that moved overnight without the dollar rate moving is usually a sterling story, not a rupee one.
Before you exchange GBP
Scottish and Northern Irish banknotes are legal tender in the UK but are frequently refused or discounted by Pakistani counters, which handle far fewer of them. Bank of England notes exchange more cleanly.
Buy rate, sell rate and the spread
The two figures on every row are not two versions of one rate. You buy
GBP at the higher one and sell it at the lower one, and the gap between them is
the dealer's margin — which is what an exchange actually costs you.
Where to exchange GBP
Cities with verified branches from licensed exchange companies.

Common questions
What is the GBP to PKR rate today?
One British Pound costs 378.30 Pakistani rupees to buy on the open market, and selling one gets you 375.10 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.
Why is the GBP rate at the counter different from the interbank rate?
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.
Where can I exchange GBP in Pakistan?
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.
Do I need documents to buy GBP?
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.
