How to send money from Kuwait to India

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer from Kuwait, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.

Regency FX was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted KWD2,159 transfers to India.

On a 2,159 KWD transfer, Regency FX delivers the most INR.

This will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest running a live search to get the best KWD/INR rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 1 ways to deposit money, including bank transfer.

Cash still works, with a daily limit on how much.

Verify and send

You'll need your Civil ID to register and to send money to India.

Anything above KD 3,000 will likely need two months of bank statements, so have them ready rather than starting from scratch.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send KWD 2,159, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what KWD 2,159 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 INR per KWD 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 INR on every transfer from Kuwait.

Right now, Regency FX pays 658,205.2 INR on 2,159 KWD, which is 1,781.97 INR less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 671,583 INR.

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.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to India.

We've tracked 30 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 1 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 30 comparisons

    Cheapest every time

  2. XeAppeared in 30 comparisons

    Never the cheapest

Based on 30 comparisons across 1 amounts over the last 30 days.

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 Regency FX is the cheapest and gets you the most INR, and it was also the cheapest in 100% of the 30 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to India.

Xe (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 0% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to India.

Ways to send money from Kuwait to India

2 companies send money from Kuwait to India, mostly through broker, online, and app, and more below.

For sending KWD online

Apps & online transfers

There aren’t many options to send KWD online.

One of the best and cheapest options is Xe.

Sending KWD2,159 gets you 644,998.23 INR with a 0 fee and 2.3% markup, usually in minutes - 24 hours.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 days it quoted.

Large transfers from Kuwait

Currency brokers

For large transfers from Kuwait like buying property in India or moving your savings out, a broker like Regency FX charges no fee and works on a margin (around 0.27% on KWD/INR).

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 100% of all the transfers it quoted.

You will need your Civil ID, salary certificate, and bank statements ready.

Anything above KD 3,000 gets asked for them now, and having it ready makes the process faster.

For business accounts

Global accounts

If you’re paying employees, freelancers, or contractors in India, global accounts are a much better option than money transfer services.

Companies like Xe Business, Payoneer, or Veem offer features and tools better suited to businesses in Kuwait.

Ways to fund KWD and receive INR in India

With Regency FX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending KWD 2,159 gives your recipient 658,205.2 INR.

To fund your transfer, use bank transfer.

To receive INR, the options are bank deposit.

Consider this before sending KWD to India

Exchange companies are the main route out of Kuwait, and the best deal usually comes down to the KWD/INR rate rather than the visible fee.

Compare Kuwait to India transfer options

Cheapest way to send money to India

The cheapest option for a KWD 2,159 transfer is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 658,205.2 INR, which is 2.01% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to India

The fastest option is Regency FX. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit in India. Your recipient gets 658,205.2 INR in minutes - 24 hours.

Staying safe when sending KWD

Kuwait's exchange companies are supervised by the Central Bank of Kuwait.

A valid Civil ID is normally needed to register and send.

The company may also ask for the purpose of the transfer and source of funds, particularly when the amount is large or unusual for your account.

Keep the receipt and transfer reference until the INR has arrived.

If an exchange company does not resolve a problem, you can submit a complaint directly through the CBK Customer Protection portal.

When in doubt, check the company in the CBK list of exchange companies.

KNET and WAMD do not send money abroad

KNET is Kuwait's domestic debit network, while WAMD moves money between participating Kuwaiti accounts using a mobile number.

Either may help you pay for the transfer to India depending on the company, but they can't send KWD directly to India.

Sort out a large transfer before leaving Kuwait

Moving savings or an end-of-service payment is easier while your Civil ID, Kuwait mobile number and bank access are still active.

Ask the bank or exchange company what documents it needs before the final payment reaches your account.

A salary certificate, bank statements or the end-of-service calculation may be requested.

How we analyse the market

We track 2 companies licensed by the Central Bank of Kuwait sending KWD to India.

The Kuwaiti dinar is pegged to a basket of currencies, so the KWD/INR rate still moves with the US dollar. Our rates refresh in real time on live searches, alongside fees and the ways to pay and collect.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 30 comparisons across 1 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for KWD/INR 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.

Each goes through our review first.
