The OFX Loonie to United Arab Emirates dirham comparison table above makes it easy to compare the Total Fees (both variable and fixed) you are being charged by OFX and other foreign exchange providers against the latest CAD-AED mid-rate (see Market Data below ) and the possible savings of using various providers.
OFX has a 20-year history and is one of the largest foreign exchange specialists in the world. It offers a complete foreign exchange solution, including discounted money transfers, currency hedging tools, recurring transfers, a multi-currency account for online sellers and much more.
OFX grew from the idea that there had to be a better, fairer way to move money around the world. That was over 20 years ago, and since then over 1 million customers have trusted OFX with transfers in 50+ currencies to over 170 countries.
OFX don’t just offer great rates, they believe real help from real people counts. That’s why their clients get the best of both worlds – a seamless digital platform, combined with 24/7 phone access to currency experts.
When it comes to moving money, peace of mind is important. OFX is monitored by over 50 regulators globally and work within a network of carefully selected banking partners. So whether you are sending money to friends and family abroad, or doing business across borders, OFX can get your money where it needs to go. Fast, simple, secure.
Using OFX for money transfers offers the benefit of lower fees and competitive exchange rates compared to traditional banks, making international transactions more cost-effective.
Additionally, OFX provides 24/7 customer support, a range of transfer options including spot and forward contracts, and a user-friendly online platform, enhancing convenience and flexibility for global financial transactions.
OFX offers exchange rates that beat the banks, and are close or equal to the rates offered by the industry’s lowest-cost services.
When you register via our OFX 0.5% exclusive offer for BER users the cost of sending, for example, 5,000 US dollars to Australia equates to 0.5 percent of the transferred amount, or roughly US$25. You’d pay the same 0.5 percent for the same amount to be sent to Europe and around 1 percent if sending to India. This compares with 4–7 percent with the banks.
For other currency routes we looked at (routes involving AUD, INR, GBP, EUR, SGD and USD), the average cost of an international payment with OFX was 0.6 percent of the transferred amount. This is exceptional if compared with banks but can be a little more expensive than what is charged by the industry’s lowest-cost services, although such services do not offer the same benefits and customer service as OFX.

The recent performance of the Canadian dollar (CAD) against the UAE dirham (AED) reveals a complex interaction influenced by multiple factors. Analysts note that despite a significant decline in oil prices, which have hit a four-year low, the CAD has shown resilience, trading at 2.6481 AED—3.2% above its three-month average of 2.5662 AED.

Generally speaking, if you are buying United Arab Emirates dirham with Canadian dollar, then it's better for the CAD/AED exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
Read our Currency guide to UAE — a practical currency and money guide to travel in UAE plus living and doing business with the United Arab Emirates dirham.
