How to Check Bank Transfer Fees from the UAE

A bank’s transfer fee is one part of the cost of sending money overseas. Review the conversion rate, funding charges and any intermediary or receiving deductions alongside it.

Read the charge instruction

Ask whether the payment uses OUR, SHA or BEN charges, and what that selection covers for the route. A receiving bank or intermediary may charge separately. Treat the bank’s fee schedule and your transaction’s final confirmation as different pieces of evidence.

Compare the same total budget

Use the total AED debited as the common starting point. If a fee is added on top of the send amount, a quote for AED 1,000 can cost more than AED 1,000. Comparing recipient amounts while ignoring that extra debit favours the wrong offer.

Check exemptions and alternatives

Account packages and promotions may change the bank’s fee. Compare the applicable bank quote with eligible exchange-house and app quotes without assuming a category is always cheaper. Keep a copy of the quoted receiving amount and ask how a failed or returned payment is charged.
