Top 10 money transfer services for foreigner in UAE

The United Arab Emirates is one of the world’s largest outbound remittance country. 85 percent residences of the United Arab Emirates are the foreigners who send money home after receiving the monthly payment. If you want to send your hard earn money overseas, first, you should know that the money transfer services in the UAE are highly competitive.

There are numerous national and international remittance service providers in the UAE’s remittance market, but not all care for you. Some of the companies offer a higher exchange rate but charge high transfer fees. Some other companies take minimal transfer fees but pay you a lower currency exchange rate.

Before sending your money into your country it is very important for you to do some research about the best remittance companies which grants a higher exchange rate,  fewer transfer fees and short processing time.

Although there are a lot of options available to send your cash overseas including bank account to the bank account, cash to cash and cash to mobile wallets normally find the best choice is account transfer.

For the international money transfer through the bank can be secure, reliable and fast but it comes to a comparatively higher cost than remittance companies. The reason for these people still loves to send money through a currency exchange agency.
