If you can’t attend someone’s wedding, a money transfer will show affection and support no matter the distance. If you’re planning your own celebration, knowing how to send money to Pakistan becomes even more crucial. In any case, our tips and a step-by-step guide on EUR to PKR transfers will help.
Wedding-season transfer tips
Don’t delay
The moment when two hearts unite is the most memorable in one’s life. Don’t let unexpected delays ruin it. If you have the opportunity, send money to Pakistan early. Such an approach has two benefits: (1) you can catch the hottest rate, (2) funds will be in Pakistan, ready to be used anytime.
Know your budget plan
Let’s break down two scenarios:
- You send a gift to someone
Then, remember the exact date of the wedding and plan your budget around it. Calculate what’s more efficient – sending the amount separately or combining it with children’s tuition fees, parents’ bills, etc. For example, you use a service that offers lower fees the more you transfer. Obviously, sending a larger amount at once will be more beneficial.
Don’t go beyond your capabilities. Impressing a bride and groom is important, but being wise with your money is, too. To assist you, we’ve collected tips on how to manage your budget smartly in this article.
- You are organising a wedding
You must understand when and how you’re going to pay for costumes, catering, photography, and other services. Open a calendar and add the approximate payment dates to it. Once you do this, your thoughts will be more collected, and you’ll see the full picture. Adjust your transfer schedule to it and don’t send money to Pakistan mindlessly. Otherwise, you may lose hundreds of euros on fees and poor exchange rates.
Monitor the rates
To send money to Pakistan at the best rate, some work needs to be done. We have two helpful articles on this topic:
- GBP-PKR exchange rates – weekly updates & forecasts.
- What affects GBP-PKR exchange rates? Expert insights.
They contain examples for the GBP-PKR pair, but you can easily apply the same logic to the EUR to PKR transfers.
In short, it’s always helpful to keep track of the rate fluctuations. You can find the graph on the recent changes on the Profee’s ‘Send money’ page or in our app.
Overall, there’s no secret algorithm for predicting the rate, but ask yourself these questions:
- If the rate is unexpectedly good/bad, will it possibly return to the ‘normal’ condition soon?
- Or will the pattern continue?
- What has affected the current rate, and how will this factor behave in the future?
At first it’ll be hard, but practice makes perfect. Over time, you’ll learn how to send money to Pakistan at the hottest rates possible.
With these three tips and a reliable service, your wedding transfers will be beneficial and stress-free.
