How to send money from Australia to UAE

Pick a company

Start with the cheapest, which is Remitly at 5,148.6 AED on $2,000.

Funding is quick whoever you pick, so the choice comes down to the rate and how your recipient collects it.

Fund your transfer

You have 7 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, credit card, payto, osko, poli, and payid.

PayID and Osko move money to the company in seconds at no cost, and PayID shows you the account name before you confirm.

Watch your bank's daily limit on anything large.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need a photo ID, usually a licence or a passport.

A passport and visa are enough if you’re new (you don’t need an Australian credit history).

Ways to send money from Australia to UAE

11 money transfer companies let you send money from Australia to United Arab Emirates.

Cheapest for most transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online with a “self-service” provider is usually the cheapest way to send money to United Arab Emirates.

For example, sending $500 with Remitly will get you 5,148.6 AED after a $0 fee and 0.11% markup.

To speed up the transfer, use PayID or bank transfer, this will ensure your money is withdrawn instantly from your AU bank account.

Plus, PayID shows the registered payee name, which gives you an extra check against the details you entered.

For regular transfers home

Money transfer apps

An app suits the transfer you make over and over to the same recipient, similar amount, every payday or so.

Remitly takes $0 in fees and 0.11% markup on a $0 transfer, and your AED arrives in 2 days.

Signing up is quick even if you're new to Australia.

A passport and visa are enough for most money transfer apps, and no local credit history is needed.

For large AUD transfers

Currency brokers

Money transfer brokers are best for large transfers, like buying property, moving abroad, or paying student fees.

On transfers of $10,000 or more, a broker like OFX drops the fee entirely and works on margin instead.

With OFX you get 0.65% on AUD/AED, and it gets lower the more you send.

You also get an account manager for the whole thing.

For overseas business payments

Business accounts

Global accounts like Airwallex are great for paying suppliers, contractors or staff in AED, handling invoices, batch payments, and more.

For receiving and spending

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold AUD and AED in one account, and convert when the rate suits you.

Revolut converts $2,000 at 0.07% markup, and the AED sits in your account until you spend or transfer it.

Most useful if you travel often to the United Arab Emirates, split your life between two countries, or receive money from abroad.

We also created a guide going into more detail about multi currency accounts.

Compare first

Banks

The big four have dropped most transfer fees, which makes bank transfer from your bank look cheap.

However, the cost is moved into the exchange rate instead.

On a $2,000 transfer, a bank like NAB adds 3.48% markup and delivers 4,977.86 AED, against 5,148.6 AED via Remitly (the cheapest option).

Ways to fund AUD and receive money in UAE

With Remitly, paying by payto and receiving through a bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending $2,000 gives your recipient 5,148.6 AED.

You can fund the transfer with bank transfer, debit card, credit card, payto, osko, poli, and payid.

You can pay with payid

Use the PayID supplied by the company and confirm the recipient name shown by your Australian bank before approving the payment.

Recipients in the United Arab Emirates can collect AED through bank deposit and cash pickup.

They can collect cash via Remitly

For cash collection, the recipient should take a photo ID and the transfer reference to a participating location in the United Arab Emirates.

Consider this before sending AUD to India

Every international transfer is reportable by the company handling it, but that is not a tax or a form you normally file yourself. PayID can fund the transfer, while the overseas leg still needs a transfer provider.

Compare AUD/INR transfer options

For an $2,000 transfer to United Arab Emirates, these are the best options right now:

Cheapest

Remitly is cheapest when funded by payto with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 5,148.6 AED, which is 0.15% more than the next best option.

Fastest

Wise delivers 5,129.51 AED in same day when you use bank transfer and choose bank deposit as payout.

If you need money urgently, we've put together a guide on instant money transfers.

PayID is domestic only

PayID and Osko move Australian dollars between local accounts.

When a money transfer company accepts PayID, it collects the AUD in Australia and then handles the conversion and payout in UAE.

Confirm the registered business name shown by your bank before approving the PayID payment.

AUSTRAC reporting

The bank or remittance company reports international transfer instructions to AUSTRAC.

This applies to international transfers generally, rather than only those above A$10,000.

You do not normally submit the international transfer report yourself.

A separate threshold report applies when a transaction involves A$10,000 or more in physical cash.

Large or unusual transfers can still trigger source-of-funds checks. Keep the sale agreement, invoice or bank statement that explains the payment ready.

Cash gifts can affect Centrelink payments

Australia does not generally tax a genuine cash gift simply because you send it to family in the United Arab Emirates.

Gifting money can still affect income-tested or asset-tested Centrelink payments.

Services Australia can continue assessing gifts above its gifting free areas under the income and assets tests.

If you or your partner receive a relevant payment, check the gifting rules before sending a large amount.

Bank protection in Australia

The Financial Claims Scheme protects eligible Australian-dollar deposits with an Australian-incorporated ADI, up to A$250,000 per account holder per ADI.

It does not automatically cover money held by a non-bank transfer company.

In case of issues, if a complaint is not resolved, the Australian Financial Complaints Authority is the free external dispute service for member financial firms.
