Receive transfers and payments into your Emirates Islamic Account from local or international accounts
Receive transfers and payments into your Emirates Islamic Account from local or international accounts
You can receive transfers into your Emirates Islamic Account from other local AED or foreign currency accounts, or even from abroad in foreign currencies.
If you’re receiving funds in a foreign currency, you can ask the sender to remit funds either in their currency or in AED depending on the prevailing foreign exchange rate. Funds received in a currency different from your Account currency will be credited at our exchange rates. While Emirates Islamic offers the most competitive exchange rates, you might want to check the current rate before deciding what currency to receive your transfer in.

MT103 is a standardized SWIFT payment message used specifically for cross border/international transfers and includes transfer details such as date, amount, currency, sender, and recipient.
You will need to submit an MT-103 form in case you need to identify the status of a processed international transfer you have been expecting. The sender will be able to request their bank to provide an MT103 for the transfer and share it with you.
The sender has the option to choose who pays the charges including Emirates Islamic transfer charges, correspondent, and beneficiary bank charges. The sender can opt to pay all charges, share the charges with the you (the receiver) or ask you to pay.
You’ll be liable to pay all charges if the sender selects the ‘BEN’ option when making the transfer. In this case, the amount will be deducted from the amount being remitted. If the sender selects ‘SHA’, charges will be shared by both the sender and receiver (you). If the sender selects ‘OUR’, you’ll receive the entire amount without any deductions as charges.
