How much does it cost to send money to Pakistan from the Republic of Singapore?

The cost of sending money to Pakistan from Singapore depends on the exchange rate between SGD to PKR, the fees, how you want your recipient to receive your transfer and the turnaround time:

Exchange rates. The mid-market rate is the rate banks and transfer services use to trade between one another. It is the best rate that you can get. But not all money transfer providers offer you this mid-market rat so compare the exchange rate you're offered to the mid-market rate and look for the smallest difference.
Transfer fees. Are you being charged a flat fee or a percentage of your transfer amount? For example, a provider offering to transfer your money to Pakistan for a flat or low fee might work out better if you plan to send a large amount.

For smaller transfers, check the fees. For large transfers, look harder at the exchange rate. Some providers encourage large transfers with low fees.
Transfer type. Does your recipient have a Pakistani bank account or is cash or cell phone top up the better option? Each transfer type will have different fees. For example, instant cash pickups tend to be more expensive than bank transfers.
Discounts. Some providers may offer you a free transfer simply for signing up while others may offer you a discount if you transfer more than a certain amount.
