flag Pakistan bans cash for foreign currency purchases, requiring transfers or cheques starting Nov. 14, 2025.

flag The State Bank of Pakistan has banned cash disbursements for foreign currency purchases, requiring all transactions to be processed via account-to-account transfers or cheques, effective November 14, 2025. flag The move aims to promote a cashless economy, improve foreign exchange oversight, and curb illicit flows, with purchases over $500 requiring documentation and biometric verification. flag Individuals without FCY accounts cannot buy cash dollars, and transfers may take five or more days, while cheque clearances can take up to 25 days. flag The policy benefits bank-affiliated exchange companies and aligns with broader financial reforms, including plans to regulate cryptocurrency and stabilize the rupee.
