Booming in Dubai

As the unquestionable expatriate capital of the world, hundreds of thousands of Dirhams are wired to and from the UAE every day. With western banks charging a wide variety of exchange rates and commissions, which change on a daily basis, expats are losing up to 4% per transaction when sending or receiving money from other countries.

Our office in Dubai has experienced great success since opening with more and more people realising that First Rate FX offer some of the most competitive rates on the market and transfer funds quickly and efficiently without charging commission or transfer fees, whilst offering the security of international banks.

First Rate FX has been working with a public relations agency in Dubai, to raise the profile of the company and educate consumers on how much money could be saved by using our services. The media have been extremely interested to hear about the offerings of First Rate FX with articles appearing in the leading national paper, The Gulf News.

In a property-fuelled city like Dubai, we are also inundated with queries from expats transferring money from abroad to fund properties in the UAE. Many of the property publications have featured First Rate FX, with Lisa O'Brien our CEO being interviewed and featured in magazines as well as on property radio programmes.

We look forward to seeing continued success from our office in Dubai and further building our brand and name throughout the region.
