Dear Seniors ,

I want your help regarding the POF at time of landing,
I want to take DD instead of cash .
S is it possible to take this from UAE exchange because I asked them regarding the fees they answered me as follow : charge to issue the DD is 30 AED , and there is 30 AED cancellation charges and the rate of buying same of the rate selling so only it will cost 60 AED for the issuing and cancellation.. Is this possible ? And I find this better than ENBD bank because there is difference in buying rates and selling rates !!!!!

Please help me ASAP

REGARDS
better to take DD with some proportionate of 30:70 or 20:80 etc. (20% cash and 80% DD)

I hope your misunderstood the case of UAExchange there is difference of buying and selling the Dirhams in Dollars and vis versa. they will charge you the difference. same thing happend with me when I bought some Rupees and then DD lost on the way. they charged me rate difference.
therfore bank is preferred as bank rate difference is not more than the exchange. NEKEOL

thank you Nekol for rapid response
i can understand from your reply is DD from UAE Exchange is accepted as a POF at the POE to complete the landing proces???.
i also insist to ask them again and again about the charges and the exchange rate and they explain this to me in detail
i will give the same example they explained to me
if i take a DD in US$ like 1000US$ the exchange rate is 3.68 + 10AED (DD processing fee) =3690 is the amount
if i want to cancel the DD it will cost me around 15AED only and the exchange rate from US$ to AED is 3.68 or some time not less than 3.672 + the non refundable 10AED (the processing fee)
as cmpared to ENBD the exchange rate is different if take the DD the rate is 3.685 + 30 AED processing fee but if i cancel the rate will be 3.653 but without the processing fee
so i reach the conclusion that UAE Exchange is better than other banks but the question is it safe??

another issue i discussed with UAE exchange representative is who is the beneficiary like the will put my name on the DD as Beneficiary or for example royal bank of canada ???
do u have any idea about this issue???

best regards
 
The exchange rate u will get better @ any exchange compared to banks.

When I asked about DD, they told that only cash is paid and no DD. This I checked with several exchange centres.

U buy US$ more and CA$ less ( to extent of meeting expenses). I had purchased all in cash.

Just two month ago Money exchanges were not issuing the DDs, of course you will get good rate from money exchange, In beneficiary name your name should be mentioned. if the drawee bank on UAE exchange DD is RBC then it is gooD, you can open an account with RBC here and the money will be credited in you account in just 3 days.
