Frequently Asked Questions
What should I consider before sending?
Check the estimate and consider the final settlement amount.
What is the best way to send money from UAE — bank or exchange house?
Compare the total you pay and the amount the recipient receives for the same currency pair, amount, payment method and delivery method. Check the capture date, transfer time and applicable limits. An interbank rate alone is not a provider price.
