Monitor the AED to USD rate in real time. This live chart helps you follow intraday price shifts and track the spread around the fixed peg, useful if you’re preparing a large transfer or checking market liquidity.
Here’s how the AED to USD rate has tracked over the last year:
The dirham is officially pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725, which is around 0.2723 USD per AED. But a few factors still influence how this rate behaves.
The UAE Central Bank has maintained a fixed rate to the US dollar since the 1990s. This has helped stabilise the economy, anchor inflation, and support the country’s position as a global trade hub. AED to USD stays tightly aligned with this official rate.
In day-to-day trading, especially for large transfers, you may notice small deviations around the peg. These often reflect supply and demand, market liquidity, or provider margins. Wider spreads can also appear during periods of global uncertainty or outside local trading hours.
While the AED doesn’t move independently, a stronger or weaker US dollar versus other currencies (like EUR or GBP) can affect how dirham-based transactions are viewed globally. In effect, AED inherits the dollar’s position in global markets, even when the AED/USD peg stays intact.
Oil exports, tourism, and seasonal activity all influence the volume of AED to USD transactions. During busy periods, AED supply may increase, improving liquidity and reducing pricing gaps. Slower periods might see a slight uptick in effective spreads.
Whether you’re supporting family, investing in the States, or managing international payments, even slight changes around the peg can affect the amount your recipient receives. Our service offers:

Yes. Forward contracts let you fix the current AED to USD rate for use at a later date, helpful if you’re planning a large payment or want certainty around timing.
Not directly as the peg absorbs market volatility. But when oil prices rise, regional liquidity tends to improve, which can make pricing around the peg more favourable.
