    UAE credit cards abroad

    Using a UAE credit card in the United Kingdom?

    Contactless and card payments are near-universal in the UK, including on public transport, so UAE cards cover most day-to-day spending easily - the main thing to watch is your card's foreign transaction fee on larger payments like tuition or rent.

    • ·Card-network conversion rates can differ from the indicative rate shown above.
    • ·Issuer foreign transaction fees may apply on top of the converted amount.
    • ·Merchant Dynamic Currency Conversion - paying in AED instead of local currency - can change your final cost.
    • ·Rewards, cashback or miles earned on the spend can offset some of these costs - value varies by card.
    • ·Always check your card's terms for the exact foreign transaction fee and conversion method.

    What affects the final rate?

    Market exchange rate
    AED to GBP tends to track broader Sterling movements, so it's worth checking the rate again close to a large payment like tuition or a deposit.
    Bank / card issuer markup
    Banks and card issuers may add their own margin on top of the market rate before quoting you a final price.
    Card network conversion
    Visa, Mastercard and other networks apply their own daily conversion rate for cross-border card transactions.
    Foreign transaction fee
    Many UAE cards charge a percentage fee, commonly around 2-3%, on transactions made in a foreign currency.
    Dynamic Currency Conversion
    Some overseas merchants offer to charge you in AED instead of the local currency - usually at a less favourable rate.
    Exchange house / remittance pricing
    Money transfer providers set their own rates and fees, which can differ from both the market rate and card rates.
