DIB international transfers: channels, charges and checks

By Last reviewed 14 July 2026

DIB offers international transfers through its digital channels. The applicable cost and timing can depend on the channel, route, currency and correspondent bank.

Before sending

Add and verify the beneficiary details before submitting an international transfer. DIB’s domestic-transfer guidance identifies the beneficiary name, IBAN and bank name as required details for a UAE recipient; international requirements can include additional routing information.

Fees and recipient outcome

DIB’s transfer materials state that correspondent-bank charges can apply and may vary by country, currency and correspondent bank. A bank processing-fee statement is not a promise of the total cost or final amount received. Check the exchange rate, fees and instruction option shown by DIB before authorising.

Timing

Do not treat a route marketing estimate as a universal guarantee. Receiving-bank handling, beneficiary details and route conditions can affect when a payment is credited. Keep the transfer reference and contact DIB if the payment needs investigation.

Frequently asked questions

Can a correspondent bank charge for a DIB transfer?

Yes. DIB says correspondent-bank charges may apply and vary by country, currency and correspondent bank.

What should I verify?

Verify the beneficiary details, instruction option, exchange rate, fees and final confirmation shown by DIB.
