UAE Exchange Rates Today — AED to All Major Currencies

The mid-market rate

The mid-market rate (also called the interbank rate) is the midpoint between global buy and sell prices for a currency pair. This is what you see on Google, Reuters, or Bloomberg. No consumer receives this rate.

What providers charge

Every bank, exchange house, and remittance app applies a margin — they buy currency from the interbank market and sell it to you at a slightly worse rate. The difference is their revenue. Some providers also charge a separate transfer fee. The total cost is: rate margin + transfer fee.

Why comparing recipient amounts matters

Two providers may show similar advertised rates but have different fees, or vice versa. The only way to compare true cost is to enter your transfer amount and see the exact amount your recipient receives. Use the remit.ae comparison tool for your corridor.

Why is the rate I get different from Google?

Google shows the mid-market rate — the interbank reference rate. No consumer gets this rate. Providers apply a margin (and sometimes a fee) on top. Compare the final recipient amount, not the headline rate.

Is the AED pegged to the USD?

Yes. The AED has been pegged to the USD at approximately 3.6725 AED per USD since 1997. The AED/USD rate is stable, but AED rates against INR, PKR, EUR, and other currencies move with USD market movements.

How often do UAE exchange rates change?

Currency markets operate continuously on weekdays. Exchange houses and apps update rates multiple times per day. Always verify the rate at the time of your transfer — the rate shown earlier in the day may have changed.

Where can I get the best AED rate in UAE?

Exchange houses generally offer better rates than UAE banks for remittances. Digital apps vary. Compare the final recipient amount across providers on the day of transfer using the remit.ae comparison tool.
