A guide to Lulu Exchange — a major UAE exchange house often co-located with Lulu hypermarkets, and what to check before transferring.

Lulu Exchange is a CBUAE-licensed exchange house operating branches across the UAE, many of which are located within or near Lulu hypermarkets. It supports international money transfers to major destinations including India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and others.

What Lulu Exchange offers

Lulu Exchange supports both in-branch transfers and app or online transfers for some corridors. It offers bank deposit as a primary payout method for most destinations, and cash pickup may be available through partner agents in some countries. Check the Lulu Exchange app or website to confirm the available services for your destination.

Rates and fees

Lulu Exchange sets rates at the branch or via its digital platform, and rates can vary by corridor, amount, and timing. Always verify the current rate and any fees directly with Lulu Exchange before transferring. Compare the final recipient amount (not just the stated fee) when evaluating providers.

Questions you may have

How can I use remit.ae to find provider options for sending money from the UAE to the US?
Use remit.ae to explore available corridors, providers, and payout methods. Then verify final rates and fees directly with each provider before sending.
I simply use my bank to send money to the US, do I really need to compare other options?
Yes, banks are often the most expensive way to send money internationally due to hidden exchange rate markups and high flat fees.
Can I trust a company I found on remit.ae but never heard about before?
Absolutely. We only list providers that are fully authorized and regulated by the relevant financial authorities in their respective countries.
Is it possible to send money with remit.ae, or are you just a service to compare money transfer services?
remit.ae is an independent information platform, not a money transfer service. Once you identify a provider that fits your needs, visit their own website or app directly to set up and send your transfer.
