❓ FAQ
USD to AED FAQ.
Is AED really pegged to USD?
Yes — fixed at exactly 1 USD = 3.6725 AED since November 1997, with a tolerance of ±0.0001. The UAE Central Bank maintains the peg by buying/selling USD in unlimited quantities at the fixed rate. This has held through 9/11, 2008 financial crisis, 2014 oil crash, COVID, and 2022 oil spike. No serious devaluation pressure has emerged.
Why convert USD to AED at all if peg is fixed?
Banks add ~1-3% spread on top of the official peg rate. Wise and Revolut offer mid-market peg rates with ~0.5% fee. For travelers: ATM withdrawal in UAE with Wise or Charles Schwab debit gets you very close to the actual 3.6725 rate. Airport currency booths are still the worst option (3-7% spread).
Does the AED-USD peg ever fluctuate?
Officially no — it's held at 3.6725 since 1997. In practice, banks quote spreads (e.g., buying at 3.6500, selling at 3.6950). The "fluctuation" you see in retail rates is the spread, not the peg moving. Wholesale forex markets trade AED at 3.6725 ± 0.0010 always.
