Dubai's biggest lender Emirates NBD to start charging for remittances to certain countries
Emirates NBD, Dubai's largest bank by assets, will start charging fees for international transfers made to certain countries through its app or online banking platform from September 1. The bank will charge a fee of Dh26.25 for remittances, including those made through DirectRemit, it said in an email to customers. DirectRemit is a platform that allows customers to transfer money via online or mobile banking in 60 seconds. However, transfers to India, Pakistan, Egypt, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and the UK will continue to be offered free of charge to all Emirates NBD customers, a bank representative clarified in a statement. "Additionally, Emirates NBD is expanding its DirectRemit offerings to over 30 new countries ... [and] customers will no longer be charged any correspondent bank fees [in addition to the Dh26.25 fee]," the representative said. The lender will also charge a fee of up to Dh26.25 for recalling and cancelling local and international transfers, it said. The move by the lender may prompt other banks to introduce fees on remittances and may be a boon for exchange houses that offer lower charges, analysts said. 'Introducing a Dh26.25 fee from September 2025 marks a shift, and as the largest local bank sets the tone, it's possible others may follow,' Dhruv Tanna, associate vice president at DIFC-based investment and wealth management firm Phillip Capital, told The National. Some lenders such as RAKBank already impose a fee for international transfers, charging Dh15.75 for the Philippines and Dh26.25 for India, according to its website. Mashreq bank has zero fees for Pakistan and India, but charges a flat fee of Dh26.25 for the Philippines, according to its website. Others such as FAB have zero transfer fees for instant transfers to countries including India, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, the UK and the EU, according to its website. International transfers are rarely entirely free as banks recover their costs indirectly, analysts said. "While some digital channels advertise zero fees, most banks have always made money either through transfer charges or by applying a margin to the exchange rate, or both," said Ben Bolger, founder of Squirrel Education, a company that teaches school children financial independence. Opportunity for exchange houses Exchange houses with more competitive fees are likely to benefit as banks impose charges on international transfers. 'For exchange houses, this presents a renewed opportunity to attract price-sensitive customers with lower transfer fees and competitive rates," Mr Tanna said. "Still, many mid-to high-income customers may continue to choose banks for the convenience, even with a nominal charge." Mr Bolger said that as banks adjust their terms, consumers could reconsider their options. "Exchange houses, which tend to offer more competitive rates and transparent pricing, may become increasingly attractive, despite the convenience of transferring money directly through your bank," Mr Bolger said. Emirates NBD's move to charge fees for remittances may prompt other lenders to follow suit, but it also "opens the door wider" for exchange houses and digital apps offering zero fees and better value, Jay Adrian Tolentino, a UAE-based financial coach, said. This will particularly benefit expats sending money to their home countries on a regular basis, he added. Based on World Bank data, remittances to low- and middle-income countries are expected grow by 2.3 per cent in 2024 and 2.8 per cent in 2025, reaching $690 billion in 2025.

Dubai to host prestigious Sibos 2029 global banking conference
Dubai will host the Sibos 2029, the annual conference, exhibition and networking event organised by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), according to UAE Banks Federation (UBF). Sibos conference and exhibition is one of the most important and largest events that connects thousands of executives, decision makers, technology providers, and thought leaders from across the industry to share experiences and views. SWIFT enables more than 11,000 financial institutions and corporations in more than 200 countries and territories to connect and exchange financial information securely and reliably, enhancing trade and financial transactions. The UAE was the first country in the Middle East and Africa to be selected by the global financial and banking sector to host Sibos in 2013. The UAE is the only country in the Middle East and Africa that has been ever chosen to host Sibos conference and exhibition since its establishment in 1978. This high-level event was held in several international financial centres such as Singapore, Geneva, Toronto, London, Amsterdam, and Beijing. The selection of the UAE to host Sibos 2029 reflects efforts made by UBF in cooperation with Dubai International Financial Centre, Dubai World Trade Centre, and Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, and the support of the Central Bank of the UAE. 'The selection of Dubai to host Sibos 2029 is a testament to UAE's prominent position as a regional and global financial and banking centre," said Abdulaziz Al-Ghurair, chairman of UBF. "This selection also reflects international financial and banking industry's appreciation for UAE's efforts and innovative initiatives in developing and simplifying payments, adopting digital transformation to meet the needs of the banking and financial sector, and developing secure and efficient systems in line with the proactive policies of Central Bank of UAE, which places the security and efficiency of bank transfers as a top priority,' he added. Jamal Saleh, director-general of UBF and chairman of SWIFT User Group Steering Committee in the UAE, said Sibos 2029 is the most important international event in the field of payments, which is a fundamental pillar of socio-economic development. 'Central Bank of the UAE's initiatives in payments meet the requirements of various stakeholders and help achieve the objectives of the National Payment Systems Strategy, launched in 2019 to develop innovative payment solutions and enhance customer experience. It is enhancing the UAE's position in technological development, innovation, and security in the banking and financial sector,' he added. Marianne Demarchi, chief executive, Swift EMEA, said: 'Sibos brings the industry together on an unmatched scale, and we're delighted to be bringing the conference back to Dubai in 2029. The Emirate is a truly global financial hub in a geographically strategic location, and will be a fitting setting for the vibrant dialogue and debates that Sibos is famous for facilitating each year.'
