Transfer details
Start with the cheapest, which is Key Currency at 5,849.94 EUR on AED 25,000.
You have 1 ways to pay, including bank transfer.
Cash at an exchange house counter works, and so does the salary card your wages land on.
You'll need your Emirates ID every time, not just the first.

9 companies send money from the UAE to Cyprus, split between broker, online, multi-currency account, app, global account, and exchange house, and more.
For sending cash in-person
Sending cash from the UAE is the most common way to send money to Cyprus.
With you will get €0 on 25,000 AED transfer (% FX markup and AED in fees).
How much you get will vary a lot depending on the amount and AED/EUR exchange rate.
I suggest running a live search and to see who is cheaper right now.
For frequent transfers home
If you send EUR home monthly, money transfer apps like Wise are the easiest with good AED/EUR rates.
Botim, Careem Pay, and e& money are convenient but Wise is cheaper.
On AED 25,000 transfer it will get you 5,818.46 EUR in within minutes (after 195.52 fee and -0.01% markup).
You'll need your Emirates ID and a UAE number to register.
For small urgent transfers
You can send AED to Cyprus 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 5,000 to Cyprus is usually cheaper with online money transfer services like Wise.
Wise gets you 5,818.46 EUR on AED 25,000 transfer, with a 195.52 fee and -0.01% markup.
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/EUR exchange rate with someone on the phone guiding you through the process.
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 EUR side by side.
This is useful if you’re getting paid in EUR, or travelling to Cyprus.
I’d suggest Currencies Direct for this.
Currencies Direct converts 5,818.46 EUR at 0.68% markup and holds it until you send or spend it, and gives you account details to receive EUR.
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 Cyprus, 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 5,849.94 EUR, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.
The fastest option is Wise, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in Cyprus. Your recipient gets 5,818.46 EUR in within minutes.
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.
The dirham is pegged to the US dollar, but the AED/EUR rate still moves. Checking the recent range helps you assess the amount offered in EUR.
Mid-market rate:1 AED = 0.234889 EUR
We track 9 licensed companies sending AED to Cyprus, refreshed in real time during live comparisons.
Because the dirham is fixed to the dollar, we compare on what arrives in EUR rather than on the fee, alongside the deposit and payout options.
Every company goes through our review before it appears.
