How we display buy back rates
You might notice the United Arab Emirates dirham rates shown here are different to the United Arab Emirates dirham rates offered by currency suppliers on our comparison pages. The rates are actually the same but are just presented in different ways. When we talk about the AED / GBP exchange rate, we show the AED rate relative to the pound so a rate of 0.2175 literally means 1 AED = 0.2175 GBP.
However, UK currency suppliers choose to show this rate in terms of the amount of United Arab Emirates dirham you would need to exchange to receive 1 GBP, so (1 /) 0.2175 becomes 4.599. Or put another way, 4.599 AED = 1 GBP. The two rates are interchangeable but currency suppliers prefer to show the second rate which they call the buy back rate.
