Market Commentary

USD/AED: A Pegged Pair, Simple, But Rate Quality Matters

Because the AED is pegged to the USD at a fixed rate (3.6725), USD/AED is one of the most stable pairs in the world. However, the fixed rate is just the interbank mid-point, banks and money transfer operators still layer on their own spreads. Aetas Global ensures you receive a rate as close to the true mid-rate as possible, which makes a material difference on large transactions.
