    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the AED to USD exchange rate?

    The AED to USD rate is fixed at exactly 3.6725 AED per USD (0.27230 USD per AED) by the Central Bank of the UAE. This rate has been unchanged since 1997.

    Why is the AED pegged to the USD?

    The UAE adopted a fixed peg to the USD in 1978, tightened to the current 3.6725 rate in 1997. The peg provides monetary stability, makes oil export revenues (USD-denominated) directly comparable to AED, and reduces exchange rate risk for UAE businesses trading with USD partners.

    If the rate is fixed, why do providers charge different amounts?

    Providers charge a margin above the interbank rate (0.1–2% typically) plus fixed transaction fees. This is the provider's profit margin — the underlying AED/USD rate is always 3.6725. Compare total cost (margin + fees) on remit.ae, not just the displayed rate.
