BRIDGE // Remittance / UK → PK
the UK to
Pakistan.
The United Kingdom is one of the top five remittance origins for Pakistan. Bridge lets FCA-regulated senders settle payouts into Pakistani bank accounts or Raast-connected wallets in seconds.
The corridor at a glance
Pakistanis in the UK rely heavily on a small number of high-cost channels. A regulated, fast, low-fee corridor has real product-market fit, particularly for the younger diaspora who expect a digital-first experience.
The UK is consistently one of the largest single-country remittance sources to Pakistan.
High-street banks and MSBs in the UK often charge between 5% and 7% including FX markup.

Why Bridge for this corridor
Building a the UK–Pakistan remittance corridor means stitching together sender-side licensing, beneficiary banking, compliance on both ends, and a settlement path that isn't correspondent banking. Bridge provides the technology layer for all of it.
Regulators on both ends
Every cross-border leg touches at least two regulators. Bridge's compliance stack is built with these authorities in mind.
Regulates UK payment institutions and e-money firms. Sets Travel Rule obligations and AML rules for outbound cross-border transfers.
Supervises the Pakistani end of the corridor, approves home remittance participants, and oversees Raast settlement.
