How to send money from Saudi Arabia to Qatar

Pick a company

For a one-off SAR transfer to Qatar, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Key Currency.

Key Currency was the cheapest on 30 of the 30 days it quoted SAR50,000 transfers to Qatar.

On a 50,000 SAR transfer, Key Currency delivers the most QAR.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best SAR/QAR rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 1 methods to fund your transfer: bank transfer.

Some other transfer services may accept mada-funded payments, but double check when signing up.

Verify and send

When registering with a new company, you will need to verify your account.

You'll need your Iqama to register and to send.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send SAR 50,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what SAR 50,000 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 QAR per SAR 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 QAR on every transfer from Saudi Arabia.

Right now, Key Currency pays 48,563.09 QAR on 50,000 SAR, which is 121.71 QAR less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 49,395.5 QAR.

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 Qatar.

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

  1. Key CurrencyAppeared in 30 comparisons

    Cheapest every time

  2. Regency FXAppeared 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 Key Currency is the cheapest and gets you the most QAR, 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 Qatar.

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

Things to know before sending SAR to Qatar

Here are a few things to consider when making money transfers from Saudi Arabia to Qatar.

Best options to send SAR to Qatar

I would suggest starting with these companies unless you have special needs (like specific funding or receiving options):

Cheapest:

Key Currency, paid by bank transfer with bank deposit in Qatar. Your recipient gets 48,563.09 QAR, which is 0.02% more than the next option.

Fastest:

Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. It delivers 48,553.35 QAR in minutes - 24 hours.

Transfer limits in Saudi Arabia

SAMA's rules for licensed money-transfer centres link an individual customer's limit to documented monthly income.

The rule caps transfers at the monthly salary or SAR 50,000 per month, whichever is lower, with an annual limit of SAR 500,000 where income is proved.

That does not mean every money transfer app will let you send the full amount as they can set their own limits.

SARIE and mada card are deposit methods

SARIE and mada card can be used inside Saudi Arabia only.

A wallet or transfer company may use them to collect your payment, but a licensed cross-border service still handles the transfer internally using local rails or internal network of bank accounts.

Use a SAMA-licensed service

Only use a bank, wallet, exchange business or remittance centre licensed by the Saudi Central Bank.

Do not hand money to an informal dealer because their rate looks better.

Check the recipient details before paying and keep the receipt.

If the company does not resolve a held or failed transfer, raise the complaint through SAMA Cares.

How we analyse the market

We track 2 companies sending SAR to Qatar, with rates refreshed in real time on live comparisons.

The riyal is fixed to the dollar, so we compare on what lands in QAR, along with the fee 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 SAR/QAR 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.
