Note: Aani is for Domestic UAE Payments

If you see "Aani" in your UAE bank app, it is for UAE-to-UAE AED transfers only — not for international transfers.

To send money internationally from your UAE bank app, use the international transfer or SWIFT section of your bank's app.

Overview

UAE bank apps (from banks like Emirates NBD, FAB, ADCB, Mashreq, and others) allow customers to initiate international wire transfers to India directly from the app. These are typically SWIFT-based transfers with fees and rates set by the bank. This page explains how bank app transfers work for the UAE-India corridor — no live rates are shown.

How Bank App International Transfers Work — Step by Step

  1. Open your UAE bank's app and navigate to the international transfer section.
  2. Enter the recipient's Indian bank account details (account number, IFSC code, bank name).
  3. The bank shows an exchange rate and fee for the transfer — verify before confirming.
  4. Confirm the transfer; the bank processes it via SWIFT to the Indian bank.
  5. The recipient receives INR in their Indian bank account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my UAE bank app to send money to India?

Yes, most UAE bank apps support international wire transfers to India via SWIFT. Check your bank's app for the international transfer feature, current rate, and fees.

Can I use Aani to send money to India from UAE?

No. Aani is a UAE domestic instant payment system used for transfers between UAE bank accounts only. It is not designed for international transfers. To send money to India from your UAE bank app, use the international transfer or SWIFT transfer feature.

How much does it cost to send money to India via a UAE bank app?

Fees vary by bank and transfer amount. UAE bank SWIFT transfer fees are typically higher than digital remittance app fees. Check your specific bank's fee schedule in the app before sending.

How long does a UAE bank app transfer to India take?

SWIFT transfers from UAE bank apps typically take 1-3 business days to reach Indian banks, depending on correspondent routing and the recipient bank. Check with your bank for current estimates.

Is using a UAE bank app better than a digital remittance app for India transfers?

remit.ae does not rank transfer methods. Bank apps offer familiarity and convenience for existing bank customers but may have higher fees than dedicated remittance apps. Compare the rate and fee in your bank app against digital apps like Wise or Remitly before deciding.
