Move to the UAE · Transfer your wealth

Bring your money in — without losing a chunk to fees

When you move savings to the UAE, the advertised "fee" is rarely the real cost — the money quietly disappears in the FX margin (the gap between the real rate and the one you're given). Enter your amount to see what actually lands in your UAE account, and how much a better route saves.

The two routes

Watch out

Moving GBP 100,000 through a typical bank costs you about AED 13,950 — mostly the hidden FX margin, not the "fee." A specialist route lands about AED 10,237 more in your UAE account for the same money. Always compare the rate you get, not just the advertised fee.

Basis: Fees and margins are illustrative and fully editable — plug in the actual quotes you're given. For large moves, consider splitting the transfer across a few dates to avoid betting everything on one day's rate (this manages timing risk; it isn't a prediction). Mizanek doesn't move money or take commissions — we just make the real cost visible. Use a licensed bank or transfer service to send. Education, not advice.

Before you send — verify

Confirm your bank or exchange house is CBUAE-licensed.
