Exchange rate margins are competitive compared to traditional banks. We update rates continuously throughout trading hours. Weekend rates may differ slightly due to market closures.
Managing Multi-Currency Deposits
Pakistani traders can deposit in PKR or USD depending on their payment method. Local bank transfers support PKR deposits with automatic conversion. International cards typically process in USD.
Currency selection affects minimum deposit requirements. PKR deposits may have different minimums due to exchange rate fluctuations. We recommend checking current minimums before initiating transfers.
