Every money transfer represents more than a financial transaction for millions of Pakistanis working abroad — it’s a symbol of care, duty, and connection. These remittances sustain households, fund education, and fuel small businesses, making them one of the strongest pillars of Pakistan’s economy.
“When we send money, we don’t just send currency; we send love, education, and opportunity across borders,” said Rashid Ashraf, CEO of ACE Money Transfer, in a statement. “Remittances are the invisible bridge that keeps families united, even when separated by distance.”
Pakistan remains one of the top remittance-receiving countries in the world, with millions of overseas Pakistanis contributing to national growth through their hard-earned remittances. ACE Money Transfer continues to play a vital role in connecting these global citizens with their loved ones back home — offering secure, fast, and affordable transfer solutions, Ashraf said.
“Overseas Pakistanis are the real heroes of two nations: their adopted home and their homeland. Their contributions fuel progress on both sides,” Ashraf added. He noted that his company is exploring opportunities in the Middle East market, aiming to further strengthen its presence and partnerships across the region.
Headquartered in the UK and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ACE Money Transfer operates in 29 sending and over 100 receiving countries — with Pakistan serving as a core destination within its global network.
Since 2002, the company has served millions of customers across Europe, Australia, Canada, and the Gulf, using cutting-edge technology to deliver a seamless remittance experience, Ashraf said. ACE operates under strong regulatory oversight — licensed by the Central Bank of Ireland, regulated by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), and registered with AUSTRAC in Australia.
Ashraf believes that while technology drives progress, it’s compassion that gives it meaning. “By combining innovation with empathy and compliance, we’re building a bridge that connects people, nations, and generations.” The CEO added that his company aims to expand its footprint across South Asia and the Middle East, strengthen partnerships, and launch community-focused initiatives that transform remittances into long-term opportunities for education and growth.
