Tips for transferring funds between the UK and Qatar

Qatari riyal exchange rates

Qatar's currency, the Qatari riyal, is pegged in value to the USD dollar at a fixed exchange rate of around 3.64 QAR per USD.

This means that GBP to QAR exchange rates follow the same trends as GBP to USD. It also means that economic changes affecting USD will strongly ripple out to QAR.

Customer service at peak times

Transfers from the UK to Qatar tend to peak around holidays such as Ramadan and Eid.

If you plan to send funds at this time, it may be worth trying to beat the rush, or at least expecting slightly longer customer service response times.

Need to send QAR at speed?

  • Send early in the day, well before the weekend or bank holidays. Qatar's working week runs Sunday to Thursday in case you need a transfer to arrive urgently. Also be aware of Qatari public holidays like Qatar National Day on 18th December.

  • Get your documents ready and your account verified

  • Use one of our 14 recommended money transfer companies that let you transfer to QAR in Qatar

  • Think twice before sending directly with a bank

The true cost of converting GBP to Qatari riyal

  • To get your total cost, you'll need to consider both transfer fees and the pound sterling to Qatari riyal conversion markup.

  • Factoring in both these costs, my research showed that Revolut came in cheapest overall out of 14 transfer services I considered.
