What is Al Ansari Exchange? An introduction

Al Ansari Exchange, a leading exchange company in the UAE with the largest branch network started as an offshoot of a flourishing general trading business of the Al Ansari family almost 60 years ago, primarily to meet the foreign exchange and remittance needs of their trading partners and customers, at a time when formal banking was yet to be established in the country.

With the gradual evolution and semblance of banking in the mid-1960s, the first branch was opened in Abu Dhabi in 1966. The Company has made quick strides thereon and progressed to emerge as one of the largest and most popular exchange companies in the UAE. Today Al Ansari Exchange boasts of a network of over 150 branches, employing over 2000 multi-lingual staff who cater to millions of customers with fast, reliable and efficient service at very competitive charges.
