Send money abroad
Fast, low-cost, and secure online money transfers from United Arab Emirates.
The more you send, the more you save
Many banks add 3% or more in hidden fees to the exchange rate — and it quickly adds up on large transfers. Worst of all, this fee is hard to spot unless you know to look.
With TransferWise, the price you see is the price you pay. No hidden fees. We lower our percentage fee on large transfers too — so the more you send, the more you save.

Here are the best ways to do an international money transfer with TransferWise:
Here is what you'll need to send money abroad
-
1. Create your free account.
Click 'Sign up', then create your free account. It takes seconds. You can do it on our website or with our app. All you need is an email address, or a Google or Facebook account.
-
2. Set up your first transfer.
Use our calculator to tell us how much money you want to send, and where you want to send it. You'll see our fees upfront. We'll tell you when your money should get there, too.
-
3. Tell us a little about yourself.
We'll ask you if you're sending money as an individual or business. We'll also need your full name, birthday, phone number, and address. You know, the standard stuff.
-
4. Tell us who you're sending to.
Yourself? Someone else? A business or charity? Pick your answer. Then we'll ask you for some basic information about your recipient, including their bank details. They need a bank account, but they don't need a TransferWise account. (Though we hope they'll want one soon.)
-
5. Make sure everything looks good.
We'll show you a summary of your transfer. If everything looks good, click Confirm. You can also make any changes you need to.
-
6. Pay for your transfer.
Would you like to pay by bank transfer? Debit or credit card?Make your choice, and we'll tell you how to do it. Each payment method has its own steps, but they're all straightforward and should only take a few minutes.
No big fees, hidden or otherwise. So it's cheaper than what you're used to.
International money transfer fees: How much do they cost?
- You pay a small, flat fee + fixed percentage of the transfer amount (you’ll always see the total cost upfront)
- Some payment methods have an added fee, but that's usually tiny too.
- You always get the real, mid-market exchange rate, with no markup whatsoever.
