Hi Muhammad, I will suggest you for local bank. Maybe it's very savefuly and low cost. I hope you can understand.

Hey I am from Pakistan (Karachi).
Direct to local bank charges are $0.99 / each transaction (if you withdraw $20 or $200, same per transaction)

I have been using this since the beginning. I used SCB and Meezan.. both worked fine. Usually payment I receive payment in a couple of hours (although it says 4-5 working days)


But the currency exchange rate is poor. As of posting date today (11thJan)
$1 = 161.22 pkr (google)
$1 = 154.17pkr (upwork)


Hope this will answer your question.

I have never used Payoneer, if you or someone else have used it, kindly tell me how much difference there is in exchange rate.

Hi Muhammad, 

Thanks for elaborating it for us. I just need to know that for local bank transfer & particularly in case of Meezan Bank, do we have to notify bank about foreign remittance? What is the procedure to have this setup. 
I just joined today, your feedback will help me set up my account. 

Thanks.
