About

Mashreq Bank is one of the UAE's oldest and most established private banks, offering comprehensive foreign exchange services alongside its full suite of banking products. Founded in 1967, Mashreq has built a reputation for innovation in the regional banking sector, including its digital banking platform Mashreq Neo. The bank's FX services cater to both personal and corporate clients, with competitive rates available through branches, online banking, and the Mashreq app.

Key Services

Mashreq Bank's FX services include foreign currency exchange at branches, international wire transfers through SWIFT, forward contracts for hedging currency risk, and multi-currency accounts. The bank's online and mobile platforms allow customers to execute FX transactions and international transfers without visiting a branch. For property buyers, Mashreq offers integrated FX and mortgage services — customers can convert foreign currency and apply for a mortgage through the same relationship manager, streamlining the property purchase process. The bank also provides treasury services for corporate clients with complex FX needs.

Why Choose Mashreq Bank

Mashreq Bank's advantage for property buyers is the integration of FX services with mortgage lending. Customers converting foreign currency for a property purchase can benefit from preferential exchange rates when taking a Mashreq mortgage, and the bank's relationship managers can coordinate both the currency conversion and mortgage approval simultaneously. Mashreq Neo, the bank's digital platform, provides 24/7 access to FX rates and transfer capabilities, while the extensive branch network ensures in-person service is always available for high-value transactions.
