Bank account in Pakistan whlist living abroad?

[zaminabs]

Was wondering if any PPer's have Pakistani bank accounts whlist living abroad?

It's just that I thought I need an account in Pakistan everytime I visit there to put my money in. Not comfortable carrying large amounts of money.


Can you open an account from abroad? What documents do I need? Any recommended banks? (who also operate in AJK)

if your living abroad then i think you should join up with citibank, not sure though but i know many people abroad who are using that in pakistan.

my parents have accounts in different banks, and even had them when we were in malaysia. some were for lockers, while one was used to collect the rent that was being collected from our rentees who had rented our house.
