For many Pakistanis living and working in the UAE, home is never too far away. Whether it is supporting family, paying household bills, sending money home or simply keeping finances in Pakistan, staying connected to your money back home is an important part of life. But managing those finances does not have to mean paperwork, branch visits or complicated transfers.

Open your Pakistan bank account from the UAE

The biggest change is the simplest: you do not need to be in Pakistan to open your account. Existing Mashreq UAE customers of Pakistani nationality can apply through Mashreq UAE Mobile App using their Pakistani passport and valid Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) or National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP). The entire onboarding journey is digital, eliminating the need for a physical branch visit in Pakistan. Don’t have a Mashreq NEO Account yet?

Manage your account digitally

Once activated, customers can use Mashreq Pakistan Mobile App to manage their local banking needs, from transfers to bill payments, all from wherever they are.

Send money home, instantly and fee‑free

Through Quick Remit, Mashreq customers can transfer funds from their UAE account to their Mashreq Pakistan Account with real‑time remittance credit and zero transfer fees. The account can also receive transfers from Pakistani banks and electronic money institutions, giving customers more flexibility in how they manage funds within Pakistan.
