How to send money from UAE to Turkey

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest, which is Key Currency at 332,607.37 TRY on AED 25,000.

Fund your transfer

You have 2 ways to pay, including bank transfer and debit card.

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.

Compare amounts

Ways to send money from the UAE to Turkey

8 companies send money from the UAE to Turkey, split between broker, app, online, multi-currency account, and global account, and more.

For frequent transfers home

Money transfer apps

If you send TRY home monthly, money transfer apps like TapTap Send are the easiest with good AED/TRY rates.

Botim, Careem Pay, and e& money are convenient but TapTap Send is cheaper.

On AED 25,000 transfer it will get you 332,000 TRY in minutes (after 0 fee and 0.43% markup).

You'll need your Emirates ID and a UAE number to register.

For small urgent transfers

Send now, pay later

You can send AED to Turkey 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

Online transfers

Sending AED 5,000 to Turkey is usually cheaper with online money transfer services like Wise.

Wise gets you 330,706.9 TRY on AED 25,000 transfer, with a AED 201.57 fee and 0.01% markup.

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 Key Currency charges no fee and adds 0.25% on AED/TRY 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.

For receiving money

Multi-currency accounts

A multi-currency account lets you hold dirhams and/or TRY side by side.

This is useful if you’re getting paid in TRY, or travelling to Turkey.

I’d suggest Wise for this.

Wise converts 330,706.9 TRY at 0.01% markup and holds it until you send or spend it, and gives you account details to receive TRY.

We've covered this in more detail in our guide to multi-currency accounts.

Before sending AED to Turkey, 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/TRY transfer options

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

  1. The cheapest option is Key Currency, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 332,607.37 TRY, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

  2. The fastest option is TapTap Send, funded by debit card with bank deposit in Turkey. Your recipient gets 332,000 TRY in minutes.

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.
