BRIDGE // Remittance / US → PK
the US to
Pakistan.
The United States is a top-three remittance origin for Pakistan. Bridge helps US-licensed money services businesses and banks run a compliant, low-friction corridor into Pakistani bank accounts and Raast-linked wallets.
The corridor at a glance
The US–Pakistan corridor is dominated by a mix of MSBs, bank wires, and digital-first players. Compliance expectations are high: OFAC screening, FinCEN reporting, and strict Travel Rule obligations are non-negotiable.
The US ranks in the top three remittance source countries to Pakistan by annual volume.
Traditional US bank wires and MSB channels often charge 5–8% including FX spreads.
Bridge corridor finality from FinCEN-registered US sender to Pakistani beneficiary.
Why Bridge for this corridor
Building a the US–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.
Administers the Bank Secrecy Act, registers money services businesses, and enforces AML and Travel Rule requirements on outbound transfers.
Operates the US sanctions regime. Every sender and beneficiary must be screened against SDN and other sanctions lists before a transfer can clear.
Supervises the Pakistani inbound leg, approves corridor participants, and oversees Raast settlement at the beneficiary end.
Pakistan's AML/CFT supervisor receives suspicious transaction reports via goAML for inbound remittances.
