How IBAN works in Pakistan
Banks in Pakistan use a 24-character IBAN following the pattern PK## AAAA #### #### #### ####. The country code in every Pakistan IBAN is PK, and accounts are denominated in PKR. When sending money into Pakistan, always run the IBAN through validation (above) and confirm it with the recipient — a single wrong digit can route the payment to the wrong account.
Common questions about IBANs in Pakistan
What is the country code for IBANs in Pakistan?
It is PK. Every IBAN in Pakistan starts with PK, followed by 2 check digits.
Where do I find my IBAN?
In your online banking or banking app, on a bank statement, or by asking your bank. Copy it exactly as shown.
Does a correct-looking IBAN prove the account exists?
No. A correct format only means the length and check digits fit. It does not prove the account exists or belongs to the right person. Confirm the details with the person you are paying before you send money.
