Rates are mid-market rates from ExchangeRate-API, updated automatically once a day. Banks and money changers add a margin, so the cash (open market) buying and selling rates will differ. Check your bank or the State Bank of Pakistan before a large transaction.
Why the riyal follows the dollar
The Saudi riyal is pegged to the US dollar at 3.75 riyals per dollar. This means the Saudi riyal to PKR rate moves almost exactly with the USD to PKR rate: when the dollar rises against the rupee, the riyal rises by the same percentage.
Sending money from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan
Workers in Saudi Arabia can send riyals home through Saudi banks, licensed remittance centres and money transfer apps. Before you send:
- Check the rate and fee offered by your bank or remittance centre for that day.
- Compare the final rupee amount the receiver gets.
- Choose credit to a bank account or mobile wallet in Pakistan for faster, safer delivery.
- Keep the transaction receipt and reference number until the money is received.
Al Rajhi Bank and other Saudi banks publish their own SAR to PKR remittance rates, which can differ from the mid-market rate shown here because they include the bank’s margin.
Riyal rate in Pakistan: open market
