Frequently asked questions
How do I get the best USD to AED exchange rate?+
High-street banks typically build a 2–4% margin into the USD/AED rate they quote. X Rate Capital works off live interbank pricing with a small, transparent margin disclosed before you confirm — so more of your US Dollars arrives as UAE Dirhams. Use the calculator above for an indicative rate, then speak to the desk for a live quote.
How long does a transfer from the USA to the UAE take?+
Most transfers to the UAE settle same-day or next-day once funds are received and the beneficiary is verified. Your named specialist confirms the exact timing when you book.
Is X Rate Capital regulated?+
Yes. Payment services are delivered through FCA-authorised partners — Sciopay Ltd (FRN 927951) and Equals Connect Limited (FRN 671508). Client funds are safeguarded in segregated accounts with tier-1 UK banks.
Are there fees to send USD to AED?+
No account or monthly fees. We earn a small, transparent margin on the exchange rate, disclosed before you confirm the trade. No hidden charges on the confirmation.
