Interbank vs open-market rate

The interbank rate is the wholesale rate at which banks trade currency — the reference shown here. The open-market rate is what money changers quote the public and includes their margin, so buying foreign currency in the open market usually costs a little more. For sending money home, banks, the Roshan Digital Account and services like Wise often give a rate close to interbank.

What moves the Pakistani Rupee?

The rupee's value depends on Pakistan's foreign-exchange reserves, the trade and current-account balance, remittances from overseas Pakistanis, IMF and other inflows, inflation and State Bank of Pakistan policy. When reserves fall or imports outpace exports, the rupee tends to weaken against the US dollar.

Sending money to Pakistan (remittances)

Overseas Pakistanis send tens of billions of dollars in remittances every year. To get the most rupees, compare the rate and fees across your bank, a money-transfer service and the Roshan Digital Account, and consider sending when the rupee is weaker against your currency (a higher USD→PKR figure).
