Cash vs Carte

Pakistan runs almost exclusively on cash. Cards are accepted only in hotels and shopping malls in big cities; useless in the North.

Distributeurs (ATM)

ATMs in the cities (HBL, UBL, Meezan, Standard Chartered). Rare and unreliable in Gilgit-Baltistan: withdraw before heading up into the valleys.

Frais typiques

Fees of 200-500 PKR per withdrawal with a foreign card, plus your bank's commission. Limit often low (20,000-40,000 PKR).

Ou changer son argent

Licensed exchange offices (money changers) in city centres, a better rate than the airport or a bank.

Pourboires

Tipping appreciated but not required.

Round up at restaurants; 100-200 PKR for a service (porter, guide)

Arnaques a eviter

!Drivers who inflate the price for foreigners — favour Careem/InDrive
!Fake rate at the airport exchange office
!Tourist prices in the bazaars — haggle systematically

Paiements digitaux

Local mobile wallets (JazzCash, Easypaisa) very common among locals, but barely accessible to foreigners. Apple/Google Pay all but non-existent. Bring cash.
