Send Money to UAE

Send money to the
UAE.

Buying property in Dubai, relocating to Abu Dhabi, or paying Gulf-based suppliers? Aetas Global moves your Pounds to Dirhams at institutional rates, eliminating the spreads UAE banks charge on every transfer.

UAE Transfers

Moving money to
UAE.

The UAE, and Dubai in particular, continues to attract UK property investors, expats, and businesses. Because the Dirham is pegged to the US Dollar, GBP/AED movements mirror GBP/USD, but retail banks still layer their own spread on top of the fixed rate.

Aetas Global provides institutional GBP/AED rates and a dedicated specialist to guide large property and relocation transfers to the Emirates.

Your Currency Pairing

🇬🇧GBP
🇦🇪AED

GBP to AED,
tailored for UAE.

Every GBP/AED transfer is handled by a specialist who knows the UAE corridor, its timing, its documentation, and its risks.

Pegged-rate efficiency

GBP/AED execution as close to the USD-pegged mid-rate as possible, stripping out the spread UAE banks still charge.

Off-plan instalment scheduling

Forward contracts lock each Dubai off-plan payment at a predictable Sterling cost over the build timeline.

Gulf business payments

AED supplier and payroll payments at institutional rates that protect your margin on high-frequency transfers.

Why People Transfer to UAE

Common
use cases.

Buying Property in Dubai or Abu Dhabi

UAE property is denominated in Dirhams. Convert large GBP sums at institutional rates, saving thousands versus a bank transfer.

Relocating to the UAE

Moving to the UAE and transferring your UK wealth efficiently and transparently.

Business Payments to the UAE

Settling AED invoices or paying Gulf-based suppliers at institutional rates that protect your margin.

Regular Family Transfers

Supporting family in the Emirates with recurring GBP to AED transfers at a consistent rate.

The Risk

What to watch when
transferring to UAE.

GBP/AED (USD-Pegged) Moves

AED mirrors GBP/USD, so Sterling weakness still raises your Dirham costs on property and relocation.

Property Payment Schedules

Dubai off-plan instalments run to fixed schedules. Missed or delayed transfers incur penalties.

UAE Bank Spreads

UAE and UK banks add spread even on a pegged pair, a hidden cost on large sums.
