Over the past 90 days, the Kuwaiti Dinar has dropped by 1.11% from 0.3888 on the 5th November to 0.3845 today. Back then, £750 would have bought you KD3.22 more than it would today. During this period the Kuwaiti Dinar hit a high of 0.391 on the 7th November and a low of 0.3744 on the 11th December. You can see more historical exchange rate data over longer time frames on our Kuwaiti Dinar exchange rate history page.
Using our comparison form at the top of the page, enter the amount of Kuwaiti Dinars you want to buy, select your preferred payment method(s) and click 'Compare Deals'. We'll return a list of UK currency suppliers who are selling Kuwaiti Dinars right now along with their latest exchange rates and delivery information. The results are sorted in order of who is offering the most Kuwaiti Dinars after all fees and delivery charges have been added which means the best deals are always at the top of the table. Choose the supplier you want to order with and follow the link to their website where you can place your order with them directly.
It is impossible for us to predict the best time to buy Kuwaiti Dinars. We provide some historical exchange rate data in the chart above so you can see the overall trend, but beyond that we cannot offer any advice on when to buy. Our advice is to not worry too much about trying to perfectly time the market. Unless you are buying tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of currency, the daily changes in exchange rates do not make a huge difference to the amount of currency you'll receive.
Yes, some currency suppliers do allow you to collect Kuwaiti Dinars from them in person. We have a dedicated Click & Collect page where you can find the nearest supplier in your area. If you plan on collecting in person, we recommend ordering or reserving your Kuwaiti Dinars online first on the supplier's website to guarantee the exchange rate. Some suppliers offer lower exchange rates if you walk in off the street, but you can usually order online in advance and collect your currency in store at the better online rate.
Most currency suppliers will dispatch your order on the same or next working day after they receive your payment, and all orders are sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery which is a fully-insured and guaranteed Next Working Day service. However, just in case any unexpected delays crop up we recommend ordering no later than 3 working days before you are due to travel. If you've left it too late for home delivery, check out our Click & Collect page to find a local Kuwaiti Dinar supplier near you. We cover most UK airports, so in the worst case scenario you can reserve your currency online (at the better online rate) and pick it up from the departure lounge before you fly.
No. All currency is sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery which is a fully-insured and guaranteed Next Working Day service. Somebody at your address will need to sign for the package but if nobody is home when the postman attempts to deliver, they'll leave a missed delivery card and you can either collect the package from your nearest sorting office or arrange for it to be re-delivered on a more convenient day.
Generally, no. This is ultimately at the discretion of the currency supplier, but most suppliers will only deliver to the home address of the person paying for the currency (i.e. the card or bank account holder's address). This is for security reasons because a signature is required when the currency is delivered, and signatures from work or other addresses can be unreliable and difficult to prove.
All currency is sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery which is a fully-insured and guaranteed Next Working Day service. This type of postage is more secure than standard post and is meant specifically for high-value and important items because tracking is enabled by default and a signature is required as proof of delivery. It is very rare for a Special Delivery package to go missing, but in the unlikely event that it does you will be completely reimbursed by Royal Mail for the full value of the currency and the cost of postage.
The payment method you choose is important because it affects whether or not you pay any extra fees during checkout, and also whether you are financially protected in the unlikely event that something goes wrong with the supplier. We have written a more detailed guide about choosing a payment method on our blog: A guide to payment methods.
Most, but not all, currency suppliers have a minimum and a maximum amount you can order from them, however we automatically factor these into our comparisons so if you tell us exactly how much you want to spend we'll only return suppliers that can fulfill your request. Most suppliers also have a minimum amount that you can order from them to qualify for free home delivery; if you order less than this amount you can still get your order delivered by you'll have to pay for postage. Again, we automatically factor these charges into our comparisons so you don't need to worry about any hidden costs during checkout.
All of the currency suppliers we compare use SSL encryption as standard on their ordering pages. This means that when you place an order, a secure connection is created between you and the supplier and your personal and payment details are transmitted using the same level of encryption as online banking.
The level of financial protection you receive is determined by the payment method you choose. For more information see our FAQ above: What payment method should I use?
All currency suppliers are required to complete a comprehensive onboarding questionnaire before we list them on the Compare Holiday Money website. This questionnaire provides us with information on the supplier's background, financial history, directors and technical capabilities, as well as document any legal and regulatory requirements the supplier may have. Our compliance team verify the answers by cross-referencing them with various online registers such as Companies House, the Supervised Business Register and the Financial Conduct Authority, and we then make a decision as to whether to list them. Once a supplier has been listed we run regular audits to check the ongoing status and accuracy of the information provided, and if any issues are flagged up we immediately suspend the listing until the supplier corrects the issue or provides us with clarification. Despite these stringent checks, we cannot guarantee the solvency of any suppliers who appear on the Compare Holiday Money website and we urge all customers to conduct their own research before transacting with a company.
It depends. You may need to provide some ID, typically a copy of your passport or driver's licence, depending on how much currency you are ordering. Most suppliers won't ask for ID if you're ordering less than £1,000 but most will if you're ordering £2,500 or more. If you're ordering £10,000 or more you may need to provide additional information on the source of the funds. The exact requirements vary from supplier to supplier, but they will make it clear what form(s) of ID and other documents they require before you place an order.
Yes, we have a section of our website dedicated to currency buybacks: Exchange Kuwaiti Dinars for Pounds Sterling.
Yes, we can facilitate the transfer of currency into an overseas bank account; see our Money Transfers page for more information.
The Kuwaiti Dinar is the most valuable currency in the world. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, huge amounts of Kuwaiti Dinar were stolen or went missing. Immediately after it's liberation following the Gulf War, the Kuwaiti government issued new notes which rendered the millions of pounds worth of stolen currency completely worthless overnight.
Although the Kuwaiti Dinar is so valuable, it is now pegged to the US Dollar. The Dollar to Dinar rate is now $3.60 USD to 1 KWD. The pegged rate means that there is little difference in the exchange rates regardless of whether you try and change money in a souq or at a major bank. The only advantage in using a bank is that they will also cash travellers cheques. It may be more advantageous to buy US Dollars at a more competitive rate than to buy Kuwaiti Dinars.
We do not recommend using cheques in Kuwait. "Bouncing" cheques is illegal and the law does not provide for offenders to be released from custody on bail. "Post-dated" cheques can be banked immediately irrespective of the date on the cheque so you must ensure that you have sufficient funds to cover any cheques written.
Before you travel to Kuwait you can get advice from the UK Government website
British nationals need a visa to enter Kuwait but you can get one for free by applying to the Kuwaiti Embassy in London before you travel. Visas are normally granted for 30 days to tourists and up to 90 days for business travellers.
Upon arrival you may be asked to provide proof of return or onward travel, confirmation of accommodation and a sponsor's letter. See the Embassy website for more information.
Prepaid currency cards are designed specifically to be used overseas. They work the same way as a standard UK bank card, except their fees are lower when used in Kuwait and the exchange rates are much better than those offered by most high street banks.
We compare travel insurance quotes to Kuwait and other worldwide destinations, but you don't need to tell us your life story to get covered. In fact, we don't even ask for your name or email address, so you can be sure we won't bombard you with endless junk mail after requesting a quote.
If you need Kuwaiti Dinars in a hurry or don't want to wait in for home delivery, our Click & Collect service can search for Kuwaiti Dinar suppliers near you. Reserve and buy online and collect in-store at a time that's convenient for you.
