Below, we analyze Norway to Pakistan historical remittance data to help you understand where costs may arise and share some best practices to try to maximize your PKR payout.
Data-driven cost insights for Norway to Pakistan money transfers
When you send money internationally from Norway to Pakistan, the key factors that will influence the overall cost of your transaction are:
- NOK-PKR exchange rate

🛠️ Key takeaway: Compare providers using both exchange rate and fees, then optimize your payment and delivery methods to reduce total cost.
Below, we provide detailed data-driven insights on various factors that influence the total cost of your Norway to Pakistan money transfers.
📈 NOK to PKR exchange rate is often the biggest driver of both cost and payout
The exchange rate on your Norway to Pakistan money transfers is usually the single biggest factor that will determine your overall NOK cost and your recipient's PKR payout.
To analyze exchange rates, we will rely on the exchange rate markup (also called FX margin) which is the difference between the mid-market exchange rate
Based on historical pricing data for a NOK 1240 money transfer benchmark, we see the following FX markup ranges for Norwegian Krone to Pakistan transfers:
- Average markup: 1.69%
- Median markup: 1.65%
- Lowest markup: -3.63%
ⓘA negative markup generally represents a promotional exchange rate whereby a provider offers an exchange rate that is even higher than the mid-market rate, often on smaller amounts. - Highest markup: 8.30%
That is a spread of 11.93 percentage points between the lowest and highest observed FX markups.
To put this into perspective, on a NOK 1240 transfer, the above markup range is equivalent to roughly PKR 147.93 purely from differences in the exchange rate. That incremental saving increases to PKR 369.83 for a NOK 3100 transfer.
🛠️ How to use this insight: When comparing providers for Norway to Pakistan remittances, pay close attention to the exchange rate you receive. A small difference in the FX markup can quickly outweigh other factors like fees, and the gap generally grows as transfer amounts increase.
NOK to PKR exchange rate can be the single most critical factor that determines the cost of your transfer. When comparing providers, keep an eye on the rate you will get.
💰 Transfer fees affect your total Norway to Pakistan remittance cost
Whilst exchange rate is a major factor affecting total transfer cost, the transfer fee can also have a big impact on how much of your Norwegian Krone reaches your recipient in Pakistan.
Based on data from last 5 years, we notice the below about Norwegian Krone to Pakistan money transfer fees:
- Average fee: NOK 23.61
- Median fee: NOK 20.00
- Lowest fee: NOK 0.00
- Highest fee: NOK 100.00
The average fee amount of NOK 23.61 noted above represents 1.90% of the total amount sent.
Also note that even if two providers provide the same exchange rate, a best vs worst case transfer fee can increase the payout by NOK 100.00.
🛠️ How to use this insight: For your next money transfer from Norway to Pakistani Rupee, look for providers that provide lower (or even 0) fees.
One caveat to this, though, is something called the hidden fee. Some providers may hide their real fees by offering a 0 or low fee, but providing a lower exchange rate. The money lost due to an inferior FX rate affects your bottom line and is referred to as a hidden fee. Therefore, you should also keep an eye on rates whilst paying attention to fees.
Another point that you should keep in mind is that for larger transfers, fixed fees become a lesser percentage of total amount. But for smaller transfers, fees can be a major part of total cost.
💸 Payment and delivery methods matter for NOK-PKR remittances
Based on our detailed analysis of historical Norway to Pakistan data, we see consistent variation in overall cost amongst the payment method and delivery method you choose.
Here is the average cost for popular payment methods used to send money to Pakistan from Norway:

- Credit Card: 3.28%

That is a total spread of 2.96 percentage points.
This means that on a NOK 1240 transfer, you could save up to NOK 36.69 simply by choosing the best priced payment method.
These savings will only multiply for higher NOK amounts.
Here is the average cost of popular delivery methods used to send money from Norway to Pakistan:
- Mobile Wallet: 2.49%
- Bank Deposit: 3.59%
- Cash Pickup: 3.89%
The cost difference between the above delivery methods is 1.40 percentage points.
Once again, this means that you could save up to NOK 17.40 on a NOK 1240 transfer to Pakistan by choosing Mobile Wallet versus Cash Pickup.
As you can imagine, the possible combinations of Norway payment methods and Pakistan delivery methods will all have disparate cost. Let us look at that next.

Frequently Asked Questions about Norway to Pakistan money transfers
These FAQs use data from RemitFinder's historical analysis of Norway to Pakistan money transfers over several years.
What factors affect the total cost of sending money from Norway to Pakistan?
The total cost of your NOK-PKR money transfer depends on how you fund the transaction (payment method), how the recipient receives it (delivery method), the exchange rate you get, and any transfer fee charged by the provider.
To avoid overpaying for your transfer, compare money transfer providers.
How much does the exchange rate affect Norway to Pakistan transfers?
Historical NOK to PKR exchange rate markup ranges from -3.63% to 8.30%, a spread of 11.93 percentage points. Even small differences in the exchange rate markup can impact your final payout significantly.
Can NOK-PKR exchange rate markup be negative?
Sometimes, money transfer providers may offer promotional exchange rates that are better than the mid-market exchange rate, resulting in a negative NOK-PKR exchange rate markup.
Such offers are generally limited by transfer amount, eligibility, or duration. Compare providers to see if you can take advantage of any ongoing special offers.
Is the exchange rate or the transfer fee more important for Norway to Pakistan transfers?
Exchange rate markup ranges from -3.63% to 8.30% (a spread of 11.93 percentage points).
Transfer fees range from NOK 0.00 to NOK 100.00, which equals roughly 8.06% on a NOK 1240.00 transfer.
At both NOK 1240.00 and NOK 3100.00, the exchange rate markup shows larger variation than the other component.
Regardless, our recommendation is that it is important to compare both exchange rates and fees when choosing a provider for Norway to Pakistan transfers.
As the transfer amount increases, the % impact of fees decreases (because the fee gets spread across a larger NOK amount), whilst exchange rate markup remains a percentage-based cost that can scale with transfer size.
For smaller transfers, fees can matter more, whilst for larger transfers, exchange rate often becomes the bigger driver. Either way, comparing both helps you get the most PKR for your NOK.
How much can Norway to Pakistan transfer costs vary between providers?
Historical transfer cost ranges from -0.28% to 13.32% for NOK transfers to Pakistan. That is a spread of 13.60 percentage points, meaning significant differences between various money transfer providers.
A major contributor to this variation is exchange rate markup. FX markup alone ranges from -3.63% to 8.30% (a spread of 11.93 percentage points). Thus, even small differences in FX margin can have a big impact on the final PKR payout.
Why do various money transfer providers price NOK to Pakistan transfers differently?
If you send the same Norwegian Krone amount to Pakistan via different providers, the cost of each transfer will be different because of variations in FX markup, fees, and payment and delivery methods.
Even small differences among all the above factors can change the final PKR payout in Pakistan in a big way.
How stable are transfer costs in the Norway to Pakistan corridor?
