OK, so decided to spend a bit of time on this today and transferred some money up to my account in the UK.
Total costs inc fees worked out as this for 100.000AED:
ENBD transfer from my own account GBP16,510
GCEN online quote GBP16,626.70
MOE Al Rostamani GBP16,772.50
So I will leave it to you to decide whether it is worth saving between 870aed and 1500aed on a 100K deal for a little leg work
Notes on Al Rostamani, first time using their telegraphic transfer, could not have been more helpful, unlike a certain bank I use here!
Took about 20 minutes, as was first time in their system as I also got one of their Introcard's to make the process quicker next time.
Manager Mohd Riaz could not have been more helpful, gave me their ENBD IBAN number so next time, I can call or email him to negotiate a rate, agree a deal, then transfer the money directly to Al Rostamani's ENBD account.
MOE Branch Tel No is 04-341 1155
