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

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 USD 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 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 States depending on the company, but they send KWD directly to United States.
Sort out a large transfer before leaving Kuwait
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.

Even a small move in the KWD/USD rate can change the rupee amount on a larger transfer. Use the recent range when comparing today's quotes.
