Getting the best rate
The rates here are mid-market rates, the midpoint banks trade at. Exchange houses and apps add a margin, so the rate you're offered will be a little lower. Compare the rupees you actually receive after fees, not just the headline rate.
- A "zero fee" transfer can still cost more if the rate is worse.
- Rates move during the day. Check just before you send.
- The dirham is pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725, so the AED to USD rate doesn't change.
