With decades of operations in the UAE and a global presence spanning 30+ countries, Unimoni is licensed by the CBUAE and serves millions of customers through its extensive branch network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer money from abroad to buy property in Dubai?

Unimoni handles international money transfers across 160+ destination countries. For receiving large sums into a UAE bank, developer or escrow account, confirm the specific corridor, currency and any limits with a branch, and check the receiving bank's requirements for property-related inward transfers.

Is Unimoni the same company as UAE Exchange?

Yes. UAE Exchange was founded in Abu Dhabi in 1980 and began rebranding its operations to "Unimoni" from 2018, initially outside the UAE. It is the same long-established money transfer and foreign exchange business.

Is Unimoni regulated in the UAE?

Exchange houses and money-transfer operators in the UAE are licensed and supervised by the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE). Always verify a provider's current licence status directly with the CBUAE before transacting.

What services does Unimoni offer?

Foreign currency exchange, international remittance, WPS payroll processing for employers, utility and government bill payments, and prepaid forex cards.

Should I transfer through a branch or the app?

Both options are available. Branches suit cash transactions, large sums and in-person verification; the app suits convenience and tracking. The right choice depends on amount, currency and how quickly funds are needed.

What languages are supported?

Unimoni's service channels support English, Arabic and Urdu.

How are exchange rates and fees set?

Rates and fees vary by currency, corridor and transfer amount and change frequently. Always confirm the live rate and fee at the time of your transaction rather than relying on a quoted figure.
