Frequently Asked Questions
Is OFX available in UAE?
Yes. OFX operates internationally and accepts transfers from UAE residents. OFX is regulated in multiple jurisdictions for international money transfers. For UAE-specific regulatory status, verify at centralbank.ae before transferring. OFX specialises in bank-to-bank transfers and is particularly suited for larger amounts — property purchases, salary transfers, and business payments.
Does OFX charge fees for transfers from UAE?
OFX typically charges no transfer fee on transfers above a minimum threshold (verify current minimums with OFX directly). The cost is embedded in the exchange rate — OFX applies a margin on the interbank rate. For large transfers, this can work out cheaper than a fixed fee plus a rate margin. Always compare the total recipient amount across OFX, Wise, and other providers for your specific amount and corridor.
Is OFX good for sending large amounts from UAE?
OFX is designed for larger transfers — AED 10,000 and above — where the no-fee model and dedicated dealer support justify the slightly wider rate margin versus specialist small-transfer apps. For regular smaller remittances (under AED 2,000), Wise or Remitly may offer better total cost. For larger amounts: compare the all-in recipient amount including the rate margin, not just whether there is a fee.
Can OFX send money to India or Pakistan from UAE?
OFX supports transfers to India and Pakistan (and 170+ countries) as bank-to-bank wire transfers. OFX does not offer cash pickup, GCash, Easypaisa, or mobile wallet delivery. If your beneficiary needs a bank credit — SBI, HDFC, ICICI for India; HBL, Meezan for Pakistan — OFX is a viable option. Verify current OFX rates in their app and compare with remit.ae tracked providers.
