Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send AED 25,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what AED 25,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.
The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.
When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more CAD per AED than the mid-market rate can offer.
This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.
No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of CAD on every transfer from the UAE.
Right now, Key Currency pays 9,586.17 CAD on 25,000 AED, which is 24.03 CAD less than the mid-market amount.
Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 9,677.67 CAD.
If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.
Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Canada.
We've tracked 239 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 8 amounts over the past month.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.
To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).
Today Key Currency is the cheapest and gets you the most CAD, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 168 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.
It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Canada.
Regency FX (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 0% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Canada.
9 companies send money from the UAE to Canada, split between currency broker, online, app, multi-currency account, and global business account, and more.
For frequent transfers home
If you send CAD home monthly, money transfer apps like Wise are the easiest with good AED/CAD rates.
Botim, Careem Pay, and e& money are convenient but Wise is cheaper.
On an AED 25,000 transfer it will get you 9,534.23 CAD in within a week (after 194.15 fee and 0.01% markup).
Over the past month, Wise was the cheapest app on 100% of the days it appeared for AED25,000 transfers.
You'll need your Emirates ID and a UAE number to register.
For small urgent transfers
You can send AED to Canada now, and pay for it in the coming weeks.
Botim and Payit are good options, but it’s a credit, so it costs more and you can’t miss any payments.
We’ve covered this in more detail in our Send Now, Pay Later guide.
For mid-sized transfers from UAE
Sending AED 25,000 to Canada is usually cheaper with online money transfer services like Wise.
Wise gets you 9,534.23 CAD, with an AED 194.15 fee and 0.01% markup.
In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 days it quoted.
For sending large amounts
Brokers are great for international property, school fees abroad, or moving your savings home when you leave the UAE.
A broker like Key Currency charges no fee and adds 0.25% on AED/CAD exchange rate with someone on the phone guiding you through the process.
Our analysis shows Key Currency was the cheapest broker in 100% of the transfers from AED 25,000 it quoted.
For UAE businesses trading abroad
Global accounts are for businesses, paying overseas suppliers, collecting from customers abroad, and holding a few currencies at once.
Companies like IFX, Sokin, VertoFX, or Wise Business can handle the batch payments, invoices and multi-currency balances.
For receiving money
A multi-currency account lets you hold dirhams and/or CAD side by side.
This is useful if you’re getting paid in CAD, or travelling to Canada.
I’d suggest Wise for this.
Wise converts AED 25,000 at 0.01% markup and holds it until you send or spend it, and gives you account details to receive CAD.
Over the past month, it came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.
We've covered this in more detail in our guide to multi-currency accounts.

Cheapest
The UAE has plenty of ways to send money, but the branch fee, exchange rate and ID checks can change what works best for you.
For an AED 25,000 transfer to Canada, the current options look like this.
The cheapest option is Key Currency, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 9,586.17 CAD, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.
The fastest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in Canada. Your recipient gets 9,584.25 CAD in minutes - 24 hours.
Banks, apps and exchange houses need to identify you.
Your Emirates ID and UAE mobile number normally cover a routine transfer, while a large or unusual payment can trigger questions about your salary and source of funds.
For property, tuition or moving savings when you leave the UAE, keep the sale agreement, school invoice or bank statement ready.
A transfer funded from your salary account is easier to explain than a large cash deposit made just before sending.
Currency exchange and remittance services require a Central Bank of the UAE licence.
Check the legal name in the CBUAE licensing register before handing over cash or uploading your ID.
The CBUAE consumer standards require licensed companies to show the exchange rate and fees before the transfer, then include the amount received and complaint details on the receipt.
Avoid a personal bank account or WhatsApp dealer offering a better rate outside a licensed branch.
The UAE's declaration rules for carrying cash across the border do not set a limit on an electronic transfer.
Your bank or exchange house can still set its own transaction limit and request additional documents.
If you send the same amount every month, complete the ID checks in the app or branch once and save the verified recipient.
This reduces mistakes without bypassing the checks on later transfers.
We track 9 licensed companies sending AED to Canada, refreshed in real time during live comparisons.
Because the dirham is fixed to the dollar, we compare on what arrives in CAD rather than on the fee, alongside the deposit and payout options.
In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 239 comparisons across 8 amounts.
This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for AED/CAD transfers. This is how we pick them:
Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.
Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.
