Weekly overview of AED exchange rates across all UAE remittance corridors. Rate spreads, provider comparison, and market insights. Updated Friday, 7 August 2026.

This week's rate overview
Key insights this week
- UAE → South Africa: captured rate-only spread 8.45% — a gap of 343 ZAR per AED 1,000 before fees. This is not a saving claim.
- UAE → India: captured rate-only spread 5.38% — a gap of 1324 INR per AED 1,000 before fees. This is not a saving claim.
- UAE → Indonesia: captured rate-only spread 4.98% — a gap of 231687 IDR per AED 1,000 before fees. This is not a saving claim.
- The AED remains pegged to USD at 3.6725; destination-currency moves against USD therefore affect the AED cross-rate.
- Provider profiles show the regulator or licence evidence remit.ae has verified. Always confirm the provider in the relevant official register.
