How to send money from Kuwait to UAE

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer from Germany, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Key Currency.

On a 2,159 KWD transfer, Key Currency delivers the most AED.

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

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

Large transfers from Kuwait

Currency brokers

For large transfers from Kuwait like buying property in UAE or moving your savings out, a broker like Key Currency charges no fee and works on a margin (around 0.25% on KWD/AED).

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 transfers services.

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

Compare Kuwait to UAE transfer options

Cheapest way to send money to United Arab Emirates

The cheapest option for AED 25,615.69 is Key Currency, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 25,615.69 AED, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to United Arab Emirates

The fastest option is Regency FX. Pay by bank transfer and choose bank deposit in United Arab Emirates. Your recipient gets 25,610.55 AED 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 AED 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 United Arab Emirates depending on the company, but they send KWD directly to United Arab Emirates.

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.
