Xoom partners with Pakistani bank to offer same-day deposits

National Bank of Pakistan is one of 25 banks that have now partnered with Xoom.

Xoom this week announced its partnership with National Bank of Pakistan. With this partnership, consumers can now send money to National Bank of Pakistan accounts from the U.S., according to a press release.

Deposits to NBP accounts will arrive the same day when sent Monday–Friday by 4:30 p.m. PKT. Transactions sent outside of that timeframe will arrive the next business day.

"Xoom is committed to providing the Pakistani community with the fastest and fairest way to send money to family and friends," said Iain Allison, senior director of business development for Xoom. "Through this partnership with NBP, we're able to better serve the community by offering even more options. And of course, consumers can always rely on our 24/7 customer service and money-back guarantee."

The addition of NBP expands Xoom's service in Pakistan to 25 banks, including major banks such as Habib Bank Ltd., Muslim Commercial Bank, United Bank Ltd., and Bank Alfalah.
