How to send money from UAE to Russia

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest, which is Al Ansari Exchange at 720,461.1 RUB on AED 25,000.

Fund your transfer

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.

Verify and send

You'll need your Emirates ID every time, not just the first.

Registering takes a few minutes with a UAE number. Once it's done, repeat transfers to the same person take seconds.

Ways to send money from the UAE to Russia

3 companies send money from the UAE to Russia, split between broker and exchange house, and more.

For sending cash in-person

Exchange houses & agents

Exchange houses like Al Ansari Exchange are a good alternative to high street shops like Al Fardan Exchange (Western Union) or MoneyGram.

With Al Ansari Exchange you will get ₽720,461.1 on 25,000 AED transfer (-19.94% FX markup and 0 AED in fees).

How much you get will vary a lot depending on the amount and AED/RUB exchange rate.

I suggest running a live search and to see who is cheaper right now.

For small urgent transfers

Send now, pay later

You can send AED to Russia 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 sending large amounts

Currency brokers

Brokers are great for international property, school fees abroad, or moving your savings home when you leave the UAE.

A broker like Regency FX charges no fee and adds 0.27% on AED/RUB exchange rate with someone on the phone guiding you through the process.

For UAE businesses trading abroad

Global accounts

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.

Ways to deposit AED and receive RUB in Russia

With Al Ansari Exchange, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending AED 25,000 gives your recipient 720,461.1 RUB.

You can pay in AED by bank transfer.

In Russia, the recipient can receive RUB through bank deposit.

Pay at an exchange house

Take your Emirates ID and pay cash at a licensed exchange house. Check the final RUB amount before paying because branch rates and fees can differ from the app quote.

They can receive money via bank deposit.

Before sending AED to Russia, consider this

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.

Compare AED/RUB transfer options

For an AED 25,000 transfer to Russia, the current options look like this.

  1. The cheapest option is Al Ansari Exchange, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 720,461.1 RUB, which is 18.35% more than the next best option.

  2. The fastest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in Russia. Your recipient gets 588,256.98 RUB in minutes - 24 hours.

You need Emirates ID

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.

Use a licensed exchange house in UAE

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.

Cash rules are separate

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.
