Follow real-time movements in the USD to AED rate. This live chart shows how the US dollar is currently valued against the UAE dirham. Helpful when preparing a transfer or keeping an eye on the market.
Here’s how the USD to AED rate has performed over the past 12 months:
Because the dirham is pegged to the US dollar, the rate doesn’t really move in the traditional sense. It’s held around 3.6725 by the UAE Central Bank, and has been for decades. But that doesn’t mean the rate you get is always exactly the same.
AED has been tied to the dollar since the late 1990s, which gives the currency a level of stability you won’t see in most other pairs. It means the USD to AED rate doesn't fluctuate like others do, and you’ll rarely see big swings. For most purposes, the peg holds firm.
The official rate may be fixed, but the rate you receive when sending money depends on the margin charged by your provider. With a provider like us, you’ll often get closer to the mid-market rate, saving money on every transaction.
While AED doesn’t move independently, US monetary policy still matters. Federal Reserve decisions can influence dollar liquidity, cross-border demand, and the cost of funding, which can, at times, impact how efficiently AED is traded or transferred.
Even in a pegged currency environment, the cost of transfers can vary. A small difference in fees or margin can have a real impact, especially on business payments or high-value personal transfers. Our service offers:
Only slightly. The rate is officially fixed at 3.6725, but you might see minor movement depending on provider margins, timing, or market conditions.
The live rate shown is based on the mid-market level. Your final rate will depend on a few factors, but we keep our pricing clear, competitive, and consistent.
Yes. Even though the rate is stable, we offer forward contracts if you want to guarantee a rate in advance and remove uncertainty from your planning.
The UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar. That means it’s kept at a fixed exchange rate by the UAE Central Bank, providing long-term currency stability.
