Interbank rate Exchange Rate Methodology

How Remit.ae uses the interbank rate as context — and why it is never presented as a provider quote.

Remit.ae uses the interbank rate as neutral context for each corridor.

What the interbank rate is

It is an independent reference value (for example from Fixer) that indicates roughly where a currency pair sits. It is context, not a sendable provider quote.

How it is kept separate

The interbank rate is never ranked against providers and never counted as a sendable option. Provider counts exclude it; interbank-rate counts include it separately. This keeps comparisons honest.

How to use it

Use the interbank rate to judge whether a provider's offer is reasonable, then verify the provider's live quote. More in our.

Rates referenced here are latest-checked market values, not guaranteed quotes. Check the final rate and fee with the provider before sending. Remit.ae is an independent UAE comparison platform, does not hold funds, and does not provide financial advice. See how we make money.

Frequently asked questions about interbank rate exchange rate methodology

Can I trust a company I found on remit.ae but never heard about before?

Provider availability, licensing, and regulatory status should be verified directly with the provider and relevant regulator where required.

Is it possible to send money with remit.ae, or are you just a comparison service?

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.

How much does it typically cost to send money from the UAE?

Costs vary widely based on the provider, the amount sent, and the payment method. Check the final total cost — including any exchange-rate margin and flat fees — directly with the provider before sending.

What is the fastest option to send money from UAE?

Transfer speed depends on the provider, payment method, and recipient country. Many digital providers offer same-day or next-day delivery for some corridors. Verify expected delivery times with the provider before sending.
