UAE Exchange

Being originally from Zimbabwe, means I have to know which foreign exchange places to visit in case I need to transfer money a.s.a.p. I normally use Western Union because that’s the best place to send money via if I’m wanting funds to reach Zimbabwe.
However, I did try and go to UAE Exchange to see what the service is like at this establishment. After attempting to use their service I found it wasn’t really the best place to transfer money to Zimbabwe. I personally think it’s best for those wanting to transfer funds to European countries or countries in Asia. You’ll tend to find a lot of Asian customers looking to transfer money abroad and I think it’s a great place for them to do so.
Even though I didn’t use their services in the end, I would recommend it to those of you who are looking to transfer money abroad.

UAE Exchange is a money transfer service available in many countries worldwide. However, this review is based on the Handsworth branch in Birmingham.
I had never used a money transfer service previously when I first visited UAE Exchange. So when I enquired about the process, the staff were polite and helpful in how they explained the membership and transfer process. I was seen to almost immediately and within minutes I had a UAE Exchange card and had made a transfer!
This branch is visited by a lot of Asian people who know little, if any, English. However, they have multilingual staff who I have seen explain their services calmly and patiently, even when the customer can be difficult.
The front of the shop is very minimalist and well-​maintained with a few counters. There is usually parking on the side road, which is a residential street and can get busy during the school run.
